The initial principal application of the Vivari Avatar system online will be for clothing purchases. VIVARI will partner with major online brands to integrate a 3D applet into the shopping website. The retailer’s collection will be digitized so that each piece of clothing can be ‘tried on’ by the avatar.

Realistic cloth and texture simulations will allow the garment to stretch over the avatar in a manner similar to real life. The user will see just how the clothing will fit them — whether it is too loose, too tight or just right.

If the system is used on a specific retailer’s website it is likely that they will limit available products to their offerings however VIVARI could also operate a ‘portal’ that allows shopping and interaction with collections from multiple vendors.

Once suitable clothing is selected it may be added to an E-Commerce cart and purchased as usual.
