Augmented Reality Fashion Apparel Simulation using a Magic Mirror

Abstract

Digital technology innovations have led to significant changes in everyday life, made possible by the widespread use of computers and continuous developments in information technology (IT). Based on the utilization of systems applying 3D(three-dimensional) technology, as well as virtual and augmented reality techniques, IT has become the basis for a new fashion industry model, featuring consumer-centered service and production methods. Because of rising wages and production costs, the fashion industry's international market power has been significantly weakened in recent years. To overcome this situation, new markets must be established by building a new knowledge and technology-intensive fashion industry. Development of virtual clothing simulation software, which has played an important role in the fashion industry's IT-based digitalization, has led to continuous technological improvements for systems that can virtually adapt existing 2D(two-dimensional) design work to 3D design work. Such adaptions have greatly influenced the fashion industry by increasing profits. Both here and abroad, studies have been conducted to support the development of consumercentered, high value-added clothing and fashion products by employing digital technology. This study proposes a system that uses a depth camera to capture the figure of a user standing in front of a large display screen. The display can show fashion concepts and various outfits to the user, coordinated to his or her body. Thus, a "magic mirror" effect is produced. Magic mirror-based fashion apparel simulation can support total fashion coordination for accessories and outfits automatically, and does not require computer or fashion expertise. This system can provide convenience for users by assuming the role of a professional fashion coordinator giving an appearance presentation. It can also be widely used to support a customized method for clothes shopping.

Using augmented reality to support a software editing course for college students

“…The AR techniques merge elements of a real‐world environment with virtual‐generated imagery and present interactive visualizations and simulations next to 2D textual‐based contents, to make the learning more interactive (Yuen, Yaoyuneyong, & Johnson,; Botella et al, ; Specht, Ternier, & Greller, ). Augmented reality applications have been used in various areas such as for vehicle technology to display maps and alternative routes (Krevelen & Poelman, ) and for the field of fashion to present clothes or objects from different angles (Kim & Cheeyong, ). Besides, AR applications are also used for educational purposes, with Rice () stating that the three‐dimensional graphics in AR offer learners opportunities for better cognitive processing.…”

Fashion Android Application using Augmented Reality

“…Face Detection in colour image: The system relies on a two-step process which first detects regions which are likely to contain human skin in the colour image and then it extracts information from these regionswhich might indicate the location of a face in the image. [3] The system which allows the user to interact the system for try on lipstick.User can select a colour on a colour scale and see as if she tries on this colour of lipstick.We have presented an approach to realize real-time virtual try-on of lipstick by user interaction. [4] The system physically simulates the selected virtual clothes on the user's body in real-time which help the user to see virtual clothes fitting from multiple angles as he/she moves.…”

Endüstri 4.0 Sürecinin Hazır Giyim İşletmeleri Üzerindeki Etkileri: Hugo Boss Türkiye Örneği (Effects of Industry 4.0 Process on Garment Businesses: The Case Study of Hugo Boss Turkey)

“…Hazır giyim sektörünün diğer sektörlerden en temel farklarından biri sektörde özellikle kumaş dikiminde emek yoğun süreçlerin devam etmesidir (Nayak ve Padhye, 2017: 111-112 (Machova, 2017). Ürün bedenlerinin kişiye özgü olarak kişinin üç boyutlu ölçülerinin elde edilerek kişiye tam uygun elbiseler dikilebilir (Kim ve Cheeyong, 2015). Müşterilerden gelen geri dönüşlere ve satış verilerine uygun olarak bir sonraki sezon için hangi tasarım ve renklerin kullanılacağına dair yapay zeka destekli tahminlerde bulunulabilir (Machova, 2017).…”

“…Dikiş makinelerine entegre edilecek sensörler aracılığı ile endüstri 4.0 sürecindeki nesnelerin interneti bileşenine uygun olarak üretim verilerinin, makine arızaları vs. tespit edilebilir (Jana, 2017: 232) ve çalışanlar aracılığı ile toplanacak veriler ile sağlıklı bir veri toplama altyapısının kurularak (Chen ve Xing, 2015: 3) gerekli analizler ışığında ihtiyaç duyulan bilgilerin elde edilebilmesi ve aynı zamanda endüstri 4.0 sürecindeki bileşenlerin kullanılabilmesi için gerekli girdiler sağlanabilir. Arttırılmış gerçeklik teknolojileri kullanılarak ürünlerin üretim aşamasında daha rahat işlenmesinin sağlanarak üretim zamanının kısaltılması, müşterinin üç boyutlu görüntüsünün bilgisayar ortamına aktarılarak istenilen kıyafetin gerekli ayarlamasının yapılıp sanki müşteri üzerinde giyilmiş gibi müşteriye sunulabilir (Kim ve Cheeyong, 2015). Daha hızlı hammadde temini yapılarak piyasadaki değişimlere daha kısa sürede cevap verilebilir (Kabaklarlı, 2016: 76).…”
