Virtual Try-On System with Tactile Feedback for Fashion Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users in online shopping cannot accurately experience the wearing feeling or touch feeling of clothes through virtual try-ons, leading to discrepancies between purchased items and expected images.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and method that displays try-on images by superimposing fashion items on a user trying on corresponding items, allowing users to visually and tactilely explore the items through augmented reality, using a cart equipped with cameras and display units for real-time image processing and projection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If virtual try-on systems are used in online shopping, then users can view fashion items on themselves, but users cannot confirm wearing feeling or touch feeling
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates physical copies of fashion items as try-on items with identical materials and textures. These try-on items are equipped with sensors that copy and transmit tactile information (pressure, temperature, texture) to the user's handheld terminal, allowing remote sensing of wearing feelings without requiring the user to physically touch the original garment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces try-on items as intermediary objects between the fashion items and the user. These intermediaries are equipped with sensors and transmitters that mediate the transmission of tactile information from the fashion item to the user's terminal device, enabling remote sensory experience without direct contact.
2Measurement precision
If virtual try-on images are displayed, then users can see fashion items on themselves, but purchased clothes differ from expected images
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates physical replicas (try-on items) that accurately copy the appearance, material, and texture of the original fashion items. These copies are more faithful representations than digital images alone, allowing users to assess both visual appearance and tactile properties before purchase, thereby reducing discrepancies between expectations and received products.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses vibration motors in the handheld terminal to transmit tactile sensations corresponding to the texture and feel of the fashion item material. This mechanical vibration feedback allows users to perceive the touch feeling of the fabric remotely, enhancing the accuracy of their assessment beyond visual images alone.
3Loss of information
If try-on items with sensors are used, then wearing feeling can be transmitted, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs try-on items with multi-functional integration: the same structural components serve both as the physical replica of the fashion item and as the housing for sensors and transmitters. The handheld terminal also performs multiple functions including receiving sensor data, generating vibration patterns, and displaying information, reducing the need for separate dedicated devices.

AI summary
The present technology relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program causing a user to be able to appropriately select a fashion item. An information processing device includes a display control unit configured to control display of try-on images including images in which fashion items are superimposed on a user trying on try-on items corresponding to the fashion items. The information processing device is provided in, for example, a moving object such as a cart. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a system that performs electronic commerce of a fashion system.
