Abstract

A common problem for many people is deciding on an outfit from a vastly overloaded wardrobe. In this paper, we present Connected Closet, a semantically enriched Internet of Things solution of a smart closet with a corresponding mobile application for recommending daily outfits and suggesting garments for recycling or donation. This paper describes the whole design and architecture for the system, including the physical closet, the recommender algorithms, the mobile application, and the backend comprising of microservices implemented using container technology. We show how users can benefit from the system by supporting them in organizing their wardrobe, and receiving daily personalized outfit suggestions. Moreover, with the system’s recycling suggestions, the system can be beneficial for the sustainability of the environment and the economy.
