This is encapsulated through real-time body analysis and feature tracking for videos and photos. In addition, Fashion AR will be targeting an important, yet under-represented, audience that fashion brands are failing to target \u2013 people who do not align to what is deemed to be \u2018normal\u2019 body shape. For example, those with a disability or body deformity. This will be hugely beneficial, as this group is typically having to buy sight unseen when shopping online &#8211; they have to imagine what the item will look like on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To access the AR tools, fashion brands will purchase Fashion AR\u2019s software and integrate it into their e-commerce website, where the consumer will select what they want to add to their basket. The consumer will then use the webcam on their smartphone, tablet or computer which will allow the clothing to virtually appear and be superimposed on the consumer\u2019s image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/immersivemedialab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2022\/05\/Screenshot-2022-05-03-at-12.32.35.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-458\" width=\"194\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/immersivemedialab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2022\/05\/Screenshot-2022-05-03-at-12.32.35.png 214w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/immersivemedialab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2022\/05\/Screenshot-2022-05-03-at-12.32.35-174x300.png 174w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 194px) 100vw, 194px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/immersivemedialab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2022\/05\/Screenshot-2022-05-03-at-12.32.35.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-458\" width=\"194\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/immersivemedialab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2022\/05\/Screenshot-2022-05-03-at-12.32.35.png 214w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/immersivemedialab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2022\/05\/Screenshot-2022-05-03-at-12.32.35-174x300.png 174w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 194px) 100vw, 194px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For in store, the consumer will be analysed in precise detail via the in-store mirrors to create an avatar of them.

The consumer is now able to virtually try on the clothing item first. Consumers will therefore be more confident that the recommended size is accurate and thus returns should be limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, augmented reality tools are more apparent in the beauty and cosmetic industry rather than fashion.
