5GARderobe: A Scalable Real-Time Virtual Wardrobe & E-Commerce Solution

This research addresses the pervasive issue of size-related returns in online fashion shopping by implementing effective technical solutions in online fashion retail. The study focuses on the central question: "What are the most effective technical solutions to reduce size-related returns in online fashion retail?". Explored technologies highlight the promise of Mixed Reality (MR) in enhancing online shopping by offering solutions such as virtual try-ons, body measurements data acquisition, real-time cloth simulation, and pose estimation to reduce size-related returns. The primary contribution lies in developing a scalable technical solution to effectively address size-related returns, enhancing operational efficiency and customer satisfaction in online retail.Implementation details of the Virtual Wardrobe System cover architectural concepts, personalization features, real-time cloth physics, and motion capture. Testing and validation methods include user studies and integration with online shopping platforms. Results reveal positive user feedback, challenges faced, and acknowledge study limitations. Future work is proposed to address these limitations and enhance the system’s capabilities. Despite challenges, the virtual wardrobe system shows promise in revolutionizing the online fashion shopping experience, reducing size-related returns, and enhancing overall efficiency and satisfaction in online retail.
