To help consumers confidently purchase articles of clothing online, SenseMi created a patented try-on technology solution for [virtual dressing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yeah-sure) dubbed 'ViuBox.'

The new technology for e-commerce sites, in-store applications and mobile devices makes it possible for consumers to create a [personalized avatar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-shopping) that mirrors their face, as well as the proportions of their own body. The 3D avatars can be used to try on a variety of clothes, giving shoppers a better idea of what different garments look like off the rack.

For many people who shop online, or don't like trying on clothes in-store, this try-on technology has the potential to eliminate the need for a fitting room thanks to a 360-degree body scan—or manually entering their measurements and uploading a selfie to the app.
