A VR Application for the Virtual Fitting of Fashion Garments on Avatars

In this paper, we present an interactive Virtual Reality (VR) application for fashion designers that aims to offer an immersive environment for accurately visualizing and testing garments in the design process. The VR environment simulates a designer’s fitting
room, offering close up inspection of an avatar wearing a garment in a plethora of movements. This, in turn, offers to the designer
a better perspective of how the final product will look, fit and behave. In implementing the proposed application, we first review the
option in game engines and libraries to support a realistic avatargarment simulation, and propose a methodology for transforming
the production-designed garments into a format that can be used in game engine cloth simulations.
