# Physics-Based Try-On Mirrors FXMirror Measures Pressure to Offer a Realistic Fitting Simulation By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2019-04-10 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fitting-simulation References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/how-technology-is-revolutionizing-the-fashion-industry-physics-based-fitting-simulation-feature-now-sweeping-over-virtual-fitting-experience-300828280.html) & [fxmirror.net](http://www.fxmirror.net/en/main) Near the end of last year, FXGear introduced Avatar Virtual Fitting simulation—which generates a 3D customer avatar in real-time—and it is now introducing a [physics-based 3D fitting simulation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-virtual-fitting-room) function. With this new feature, customers are able to get [size recommendations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtualfit) and see how various outfits look in real-time and in 360 degrees. This functionality is particularly useful for giving shoppers a sense of how tight or loose a garment will be on the body by analyzing pressure and a user's measured body size. Since garment sizes do differ from brand to brand, the fit of each 3D outfit is determined by a brand's own size charts. This [virtual fitting simulation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-virtual-try-on) determines how much pressure is applied by clothing to body parts in order to represent an accurate fit that ultimately saves consumers from having to actually try on any clothes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [Retail](https://www.trendhunter.com/retail) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Virtual Fitting Simulation:** The use of physics-based 3D fitting simulation technology allows customers to get size recommendations and visualize how outfits look in real-time, saving them from having to physically try on clothes. - **Pressure Analysis:** By analyzing pressure and a user's measured body size, the virtual fitting simulation offers shoppers a sense of how tight or loose a garment will be on the body, enhancing the accuracy of fit predictions. - **Brand-specific Size Charts:** Integrating brand-specific size charts into the virtual fitting simulation ensures that the fit of each 3D outfit is determined by the brand's own sizing, providing a more personalized and accurate fitting experience for customers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Retail:** Virtual fitting simulation technology presents disruptive innovation opportunities for the fashion retail industry to enhance the online shopping experience with accurate size recommendations and visualizations. - **E-commerce:** The integration of physics-based try-on mirrors in e-commerce platforms can revolutionize the way online shoppers select and purchase clothes, reducing the need for returns and improving customer satisfaction. - **Augmented Reality:** Augmented reality technology combined with physics-based fitting simulations opens up new possibilities for the AR industry, allowing users to virtually try on outfits with realistic visuals and accurate fit predictions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI Body Measuring Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fytted.md) - [GenAI Clothing Try-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-clothes-tryon.md) - [Size-Replicating Try-On Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-shopping.md) - [Digital Try-On Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bariano.md) - [AI-Powered Measuring Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dlook.md) - [Virtual Dressing Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-virtual-try-on.md) - [AI Virtual Try-On Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dressup-ai.md) - [AI Fashion Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtualfit.md) - [2D-to-3D Jewelry Try-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-try-on-technology.md)
