What Is Virtual Try-On?

kebilll

Virtual try-on lets you visualize products on yourself digitally. Instead of physically trying clothes, use an app to see approximations of how items might look.

Two main types:

  • AR-based: Uses camera for real-time overlay
  • AI-based: Analyzes photos and generates new images

How It Works on iPhone

  1. Provide a photo or camera access
  2. App identifies your body
  3. AI/AR generates the outfit overlay
  4. You see yourself wearing the virtual item
