Reflection 1: Virtual Reality

With the development of the digital industry, Virtual Reality technology is no longer only used in games and C-side fields. Different industries have begun to introduce VR technology and begin to integrate into our daily lives. Such as online try-on and makeup preview. With the development of the online economy, more people choose online shopping because it is more convenient and cheaper than physical shopping. But the downside of online shopping is that people cannot try on clothes which decided on the right size, color and style that suits them. The virtual fitting mirror solves this problem properly. It simulates the process of trying on clothes in a retail store. People can try on clothes at home and buy clothes that suit them. This greatly reduces the return rate and at the same time increases the sense of experience.

Another example is Image Metrics developed Makeup Genius, an application that enables customers to conduct a virtual trial before deciding to buy cosmetics. Its technology uses facial tracking and capture to determine the position of the head and facial contours and facial features. In addition, the program can automatically identify the determined gender, race, hair color, etc., so that the VR technology recommendation is more accurate, and the customer experience is better optimized. The invention of this technology facilitates people to make appropriate choices in today’s fast-paced life frequency. Now this technology has not been fully popularized. The purpose of this post is to let more people see and understand and pay attention to this technology.
