Reactive Reality, a company specializing in augmented reality and artificial intelligence innovations, has announced the launch of 'PICTOFiT,' an AR-powered shopping tool that allows users to create hyper-accurate avatars of themselves.
The app intends for prospective customers to build an online avatar that mirrors their body shape and dimensions, allowing them to then 'try on' clothes virtually before deciding to purchase them. The new app was designed to be integrated with e-commerce platforms where it can be utilized to capture existing products and turn them into wearable, photo-realistic 3D items.
Once 'PICTOFiT' has been integrated by e-commerce platforms, users will be able to browse clothing options, using their virtual avatars to visualize how they might look wearing them in real life. Reactive Reality joins a range of other startups offering virtual fitting solutions -- an exciting new space that aims to make online shopping more tactile and dependable.
