VirtualFit: Enhances shopping experience with virtual try-ons
Project Overview
VirtualFit is an AI-powered solution designed to transform the online shopping experience for clothing retailers. It allows users to virtually try on garments by overlaying clothing onto user-provided images, offering a realistic and interactive visualization of how items will fit and look before purchase.
Problem Statement
E-commerce clothing retailers faced high return rates caused by incorrect size selections and poor fit, resulting in dissatisfied customers and increased operational costs. The lack of a “try before you buy” option made online shopping less appealing, limiting personalization and reducing conversion rates.
Key Findings
- Purchase Confidence: Customers are significantly more likely to buy clothing when they can visualize how it will look on them, leading to higher conversion rates.
- Size and Fit Challenges: Size concerns and incorrect fit were identified as the leading causes of high return rates, impacting retailer profitability.
- Category Impact: Dresses, outerwear, and tailored items were among the categories most positively influenced by virtual try-ons, demonstrating higher engagement and lower return rates.
