Google launches Virtual Try-On using AI

What: Google launched a new virtual “Try on” feature that let’s you see how a piece of clothing fits various body sizes and shapes! While it doesn’t let you see how it would fit you, there are 80 models you could try them on.

The feature is available in the U.S for women’s tops from brands including Anthropologie, Everlane, H&M and LOFT, and will expand to men’s clothing by later this year.

Over the last couple of years, couple of companies including Amazon and Adobe have attempted virtual try on tech, but none of them could make it work to disrupt the market: 59% of users feel dissatisfied with an item they shopped for online because it looked different on them than expected.
