Animated Virtual Clothing Models for Dynamic Fitting Accuracy
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current online clothing retail systems fail to accurately depict how clothing fits and appears on individual users, leading to costly returns due to the lack of dynamic and personalized fitting experiences, and they lack engaging social interactions.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented system that generates and displays animated virtual clothing models on user devices, allowing users to customize body models, switch between different clothing options, and share virtual fitting rooms, enabling realistic virtual try-ons and social interactions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If static images of clothes worn by fashion models are provided, then the online retail system can display clothing appearance, but it cannot accurately represent how clothes fit individual users with different body sizes and shapes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms static fashion model images into dynamic virtual try-on experiences by generating animated composite models that adapt to different user body types. The system creates multiple body models representing different sizes and shapes, then dynamically renders clothing on these varied models to show accurate fit for individual users.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes key parameters including body model selection based on user measurements, clothing scale and drape characteristics, and animation motion descriptors. By adjusting these parameters according to user-specific data, the system achieves accurate fitting representation across diverse body types.
2Reliability
If users order multiple clothes for delivery to try on physically, then they can determine actual fit and appearance, but it increases costs, time consumption, and environmental impact
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary virtual try-on actions before physical delivery. Users can visualize clothing fit and appearance on animated body models matching their measurements, making informed purchase decisions without ordering multiple items for physical trial. This preliminary visualization reduces unnecessary returns and associated time losses.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates virtual copies of the user's body through 3D body models generated from user-provided measurements. These digital twins allow accurate clothing visualization without physical try-on, replacing the need to order multiple clothing items for testing fit and appearance.
3Ease of operation
If traditional online retail interfaces are used, then the system can display product information, but it cannot provide engaging, dynamic, and social interactions for virtual try-on experiences
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic animated composite models that perform various movements defined by motion descriptors. Users can interact with these animated models in real-time, switching between different poses and actions, creating an engaging and lively virtual try-on experience rather than static image browsing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a virtual model server as an intermediary between the user interface and clothing data. This server generates and manages animated composite models, handling the complexity of 3D rendering and animation while presenting a simplified, engaging interface to users through their devices.
Data Source
AI summary
Virtual clothing systems and methods are disclosed which comprise receiving a display request for displaying virtual clothing worn by a virtual body model. The request includes a reference to a set of clothing models. The system and method further comprises generating a set of animated composite models. Each animated composite model includes a body model, one of the referenced set of clothing models and a motion descriptor. In response to the display request, user interface data is transmitted to a user device. A user interface on the user device is configured by the user interface data to display renders of the animated composite models.
