The future of Virtual Try-On

A more personalized experience

I think we all have been dreaming about a tool for a long time now. I wished for a tool that could make my online shopping experience much better, only if, I had the option to reduce my returns and re-ordering. I wish I could try the product on me before it gets delivered. Brace yourselves for the near future, where Virtual Try-On is going to change this for you. Virtual Try-on is working on its next feature, instead of selecting the existing model, users can upload their image and check how the product will look on them. Is the fit perfect?, should I go for a different color? And what kind of bottom wear will suit this shirt? we can get answers to all these questions before the product gets delivered to us. I believe this upgrade of Virtual Try-On is going to benefit a lot of people, like, by reducing the return rate for the companies, minimizing your hassles on online shopping, and saving time for the poor delivery agents who have to do multiple trips before delivering you the perfect fit.
