New technology that includes 3D body scanning, digital virtual human, and digital virtual garments has had a significant impact on the current apparel industry. Virtual simulation technology enables the visualization of a 3D virtual garment on a virtual avatar so that consumers can try on garments with their virtual avatars before purchasing. However, the manual virtual avatar provided for online apparel shopping currently has revealed limitations on the different body sizes and shapes of customers. This study analyzes the process of designing the automatic virtual avatar and the manual virtual avatar using OptiTex software; in addition, the study compares the practicality of the automatic virtual avatar with that of the manual virtual avatar. Data was examined by evaluating how much each virtual avatar is similar to the real body and how well it matched the needs of the current apparel industry. In the study, Avatar 1 was automatically created from three-dimensional body scan data and Avatar 2 was manually created from body measurements. The virtual avatar images laid over a real body image and the results were evaluated by comparing the simulated sizes of virtual avatars with those of a real body. Consequently, Avatar 1 was evaluated as more similar to the real body than Avatar 2 in all five body shapes. This study illustrates that an automatic virtual avatar might solve the fit problem that is the most common reason for a high return rate for online shopping. The results show that future virtual simulation technology needs to be improved for the practicality of the virtual avatars.

문제 정의

The purpose of this research was to compare the practicality of the automatic virtual avatar made by the automatic transfer from body scan data with the manual virtual avatar made by the manual input from body measurements in the evaluation of a virtual avatar that is similar to a real body.

into the top five body shq)es. We made an automatic virtual avatar (Avatar 1) and a man ual virtual avatar (Avatar 2) using the measurnnents of each body typeand compared tfiem with the real body. The results of the size difference between virtual avatars and a real body are provide in <Fig.

제안 방법

The design of the experiment was two virtual avatars (automatic and manual) and five body shapes (Hourglass, Bottom Hou_电ass, Rectangle, Oval, and Spoon). In this study, a [TC]2 body scanner was used to measure the body shape of the participants.
In this study, a [TC]2 body scanner was used to measure the body shape of the participants. The measurements of all participants were processed over an appropriate fitted body suit or over underwear and the body data were saved in .
, 2004). This software contains computer codes programmed to classify body shape by analyzing anthropometric data such as the circumferences of bust, waist, hip, stomach and abdomen as criteria for body type classification. Each of ttie subjects1 measure ment data was analyzed using this code of FFIT software and their bo(fy shapes were determined by this process.
The subjects' body data and measurements were used to create the automatic and manual virtual avatar by using OptiTex software system. The automatic virtual avatar (Avate 1) was created through the auto matic input of body scan data while the manual vir tual avatar (Avatar 2) was processed a manual input of the body measurements.
The automatic virtual avatar (Avate 1) was created through the auto matic input of body scan data while the manual vir tual avatar (Avatar 2) was processed a manual input of the body measurements. In addition, the real bodies used in this experiment were the actual body shapes of five subjects measured in the [TC]²body scanning system and saved in VRML format. This study evaluated the practicality of the automatic vir tual avatar (Avatar 1) and the manual virtual avatar (Avatar 2) in a comparison of two avatar images with real body images.
This study evaluated the appear^ice of the automatic virtual avatar and the manual virtual avatar to identify which one is similar to a real body.

대상 데이터

Seventy-nine participants at North Carolina State University (NCSU) took part in a three-dimensional body scan in January and April of 2009. They are students, employees, and visitors at North Carolina State University's College of Textiles wishing to par ticipate in the subjects for this study.

성능/효과

Second, Avatar 1 was almost same as the real body while Avatar 2 was different from the real body in the case of all five body shapes that included Hourglass, Bottom Hourglass, Oval, Rectangle, and Spoon. In the manual method that creates virtual avatars by entering body measurements, because body size items entered into virtual software are mainly heighto, lengflis and girttis, it was considered necessary to have items for entering thicknesses and angles for reflecting thicknesses and shapes of an actual human body.

Future research should investigate the convergence of virtual technologies and digital convergence in the IT and fashion industries in the examiiwtian of practical uses for the feshion marketing.
