Virtual Try-On Avatar Generation for Remote Clothing Simulation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional systems do not allow users to try clothes on a third person other than themselves in real-time, limiting virtual shopping experiences.
Innovation Solution
An information distribution apparatus and method that captures images of a try-on object, acquires object images, and generates try-on data based on a registration avatar in a virtual space, enabling the superimposition of object images onto avatars for remote try-on simulations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a system enables users to try clothes on themselves in a virtual space, then virtual shopping experience is improved, but the system cannot support trying clothes on third persons
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a virtual copy (avatar) of the third person based on captured images, allowing the user to try clothes on this digital replica. The avatar generation unit processes captured images to create a three-dimensional virtual model that replicates the target person's appearance, enabling remote try-on without requiring the actual person to be present.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary system consisting of the captured image transmission unit and avatar generation unit that bridges the gap between the user and the third person. Instead of direct interaction, the system transmits captured images of the third person to generate an avatar, which then serves as the medium for trying on clothes remotely.
2Speed
If the system captures and processes images in real-time, then real-time try-on is achieved, but processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by capturing and storing images of the third person in advance, and generating the avatar model beforehand. This preparation work is done before the actual try-on session, so that when the user wants to try clothes, the system only needs to overlay the clothing items on the pre-generated avatar, significantly reducing the real-time processing requirements.

AI summary
An information distribution apparatus includes an imaging unit configured to capture a captured image including a specific object, an object image acquisition unit configured to acquire an object image of the specific object from the captured image, and a try-on data generation unit configured to generate try-on data based on a registration avatar in a virtual space and the object image.
