Looking at the dresses (girl here), it's kind of awkward to see the compressed width on the next image to come up. If you can adjust the transform to make it look more natural then it would be more fun to use. Happy to look at never-ending pictures of dresses for quite a while otherwise.

Agree with this-- I tend to naturally look at the next picture while it's coming in, but the way it transforms hurts my eyes. Just sliding it in would be much more comfortable, although look less pretty.

Also: the man/woman pictures on your main page repeat in Chrome for windows that do not have a specific shape.

I like the visual design.

The UX is a little weird. I clicked the top image expecting it to move into place but nothing happened. Ditto for the image to the right of the main one.

It took a while to notice the controls at the bottom, and a little after that to realize they were keyboard shortcuts (maybe I am just slow). After I realized that, I tried '=' to show the bottom bar and nothing happened.

I'm not sure what 'Z' does but for me it just cleared the page.

In the bottom bar there's an orange square that is darker colored, and empty, was curious what that was for.

Pretty cool, I really like the use of the keyboard, it makes the experience more fluid. Some feedback :

1 - I would keep a flat design, I think the spheric design is a distraction and gives the impression the inventory is limited to the "circumference"...

2 - If you could find a way to keep the user on site (maybe load amazon in a iframe) to see more details, that would make the experience more fluid.

3 - Maybe let users save items they like since this is a discovery platform.

What about gender neutral students? They are increasing numbers. I have friends who don'tcare some times if it's for girls or boys.

Then they just browse both.

Funny how I got downvoted for this. I think this is hardcoded into the DB as a boolean. That's generally a bad idea. :D
