I have tried the new AI-try-on function of Google and it has given me a number of new fashion ideas

Google has rolled out a new AI shopping function to help you find out what the clothing you want to buy may look like when you wear them. It is called “Try it on” and it is now available in the US via Google Search Labs.
To get started, you just have to switch it on in the lab. Then you upload a full photo of yourself and look for clothing on the Google Shopping tab.
When you click on an image of an outfit of the search results, you will see a small button “Try it on” in the middle of the enlarged version of the outfit in the right panel. One click and about ten seconds later you see yourself wearing the outfit. It may not always be a perfect illusion, but at least you will get an idea of what it would look like.
Google claims that the whole thing runs on a model that has been trained to see the relationship between your body and clothing. The AI can therefore realistic realistic material realistic, stretch and bunch over different body types.
The function does not work with every item of clothing that you might see, or even every type of outfit. The clothing store must choose on the program and Google said it only works for shirts, pants, dresses and skirts.
I did notice that costumes and swimwear both had no useful images, but I could put shorts on myself, and costumes that looked enough as if regular clothing was usable. The AI also didn’t seem to have a problem with jackets and jackets as categories.
Elvis looks like
At Google Shopping, for example, I found replicas of the outfits that Elvis wore for his comeback from 1966 and one of his jumpsuits from the 1970s. With a few clicks I could imagine that I had dressed as the king in different eras.
It even changed my shoes into the whole black suit. I had always wondered if I could take both looks. The images are divisible, and you can save them or save them from the Google Mobile app and see how much of an Elvis your friends think you are.
Super Summer
The details that the AI changes to make the photos work are impressive. I used the AI to try a nice summer look and closest to a super hero costume that I could try. I am the original photo in a pack and jacket with shoes with a booge and black clothing. But the shoes and socks on both images generated by AI do not only match what was in the search result, but they are also formed to my posture and size.
Moreover, despite wearing long sleeves and pants, the AI found a way to show some of my arms and legs. The color corresponds to reality, but the imperfections are noticeable for me. My legs look too skinny in both, as the AI thinks I skipped the salvation day, and my legs in the shorts have not been so hairless since I turned 13.
Apart from imperfections, the feeling that this will be an important part of the next era of e-commerce. The uncomfortable gamble or a color or cut works for your skin color and builds, may be easier to solve.
I would not say that it can make it good to try them in real life, especially when it comes to the size and comfort, but if a digital version of holding an outfit against you while looking in a mirror, it’s pretty good.
The end of unnecessary returns
Uncanny as some of the resulting images are, I think this will be a popular function for Google Shopping. I would expect that it will be heavily simulated by rivals in AI Development and Online Retail, where it is not yet.
I especially like how the AI shows you what you would look like in more bizarre or daring looks that you could hesitate to try in a store. For example the Paisley jacket and striped pants on the left or the dovetail jacket and the vest with Victorian pants on the right. I would hesitate to either order either appearance and would almost certainly be planning to return one or both even before they arrive.
Returns are a plague for online retailers and waste tons of packaging and other sources. But if Google shows us how we would look in clothing before we buy them, this can chip against it; Retailers will race to register for the program.
It can also open the door for more personalized style advice from AI. You could soon have an AI -personal sideboard, ready to give you a virtual fit and introduce your next look, even if it is not something that Elvis would have worn.
