  • The purpose of this study is to classify Avatar fashion style through analysis of on-line Avatar Mall and to propose color pallette and fashion contents from fashion color analysis. The literature research focused on investigating the notion, characters and types of Avatar and relation of Avatar and self-image, clothing image and color image. In data research, 4 on-line portal sites Avatar Malls were analyzed and Avatar fashion style was classified. In addition, Avatar clothing color was analyzed. The research of this study are as follows: Firstly, Avatar in the cyber space represents 'me' of the real states. Avatar fashion helps to represent Avatar Image and clothing makes human image and identity as a social sign. Color helps to constitute clothing impression and human image, therefore clothing and color are the important elements to express self-image through Avatar in the cyber space. Secondly, Avatar Malls of 4 on-line portal sites are very similar and confuse Avatar users because of no standard of fashion style classification. Accordingly, the standard of fashion style classification should be made by a fashion expert, and the specific characters of every on-line portal site should be emphasized. Thirdly, as a result of the analysis of Avatar's clothing, the clothing is divided into a real world clothing and an imaginary world clothing. There are daily clothes, uniform, event clothes, story clothes and fantasy clothes. As a result of the color analysis of Avatar clothing, White, Red, Red Purple colors and bright and vivid tone are generally used for Avatar clothing. This study is significant to classify Avatar fashion style systematically, to notify sensitive and delicate users' sign and to make Avatar fashion image emotional and high-quality.

  • This study aims to predict causal relationships between experience economy, perceived flow, and continuous use intention in the mixed reality (MR) environment. A virtual fitting mirror with two modes (i.e., avatar and self-image) was selected for this study. A total of 200 samples was obtained in two sample frames: virtual fitting users in avatar mode (group 1, n = 119) and self-image mode (group 2, n = 81). The results showed that the experience economy consists of entertainment, education, esthetic, and escapism. The entertainment and esthetic experiences had positive effects on perceived flow, leading to continuous use intentions. For avatar mode, the entertainment and esthetic experiences had positive effects on continuous use intentions through the mediating effect of flow; and the education experience had a positive effect on the continuous intentions to use the MR technology. For self-image mode, the flow mediated the effect of entertainment on continuous use intentions, whereas education and escapism directly affected the intention to use the MR technology. The paper also discusses the theoretical and managerial implications of using MR technologies in fashion retailing.

  • 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.

  • Several applications of body scanning technology have been commercialized or are currently under development. The virtual fit from 3D scans is most advanced form of virtual try-on. This article is an analysis of the comparison of user preferences for domestic versus foreign 3D virtual try-on systems. For this study, domestic i-Fashion Mall (www.ifashionmall.co.kr) and a Canadian company, My Virtual Model (www.mvm.com) were selected as the most representative online retailers that offer a virtual try-on system. The respondents were comprised of 70 Korean female college students in the age group 20-29. A five point Likert scale was used to evaluate the degree of the preference of virtual avatar and try-on images. T-test, cross table, and a chi-square independence test were conducted for data analysis. The results are as follow. 1. The representation about current looks according to each virtual fit image indicates that MVM is more accurate than i-Fashion Mall. 2. About decision confidence, respondents have decision confidence in i-Fashion Mall in the case of the avatar image; however, respondents have confidence in MVM or the fit image. 3. There were no significant differences in among waist size groups in accuracy, trust of each avatar image, while there were significant differences among waist size groups in the accuracy and trust of each virtual fit image. 4. About ease of use, respondents answered that i-Fashion Mall is superior to MVM. 5. The respondents prioritized the ‘fitting report’ of i-Fashion Mall and ‘Weight loss’ of MVM over other functionalities.

  • The 3D virtual fitting system is a new and very efficient system replacing real fitting in apparel industry and on-line shopping. It is a win-win system for both of consumer and manufacturer which not only reduces design and production time but also resolves consumer's complaints by checking the wearing image beforehand. It is a must-have item in the future. The purpose of this study is to analyze sizing menu, terms, and current status and to figure out problems of avatar sizing programs which substitute human bodies in virtual fitting. We chose three existing outstanding programs in domestic and global market, compared and analyzed the program, manual, and terms that are used in avatar sizing, and investigated the strengths, weaknesses, problems of options and terms and finally suggested an alternative terms. The revealed problems are as follows: each program supports various avatars ranging from male to female, from child to adult, and from oriental style to western style. The image of the avatar could be changed through the options for hair style, shoes and accessories. But we found out some problems. The avatar body types are far from actual human body types, avatar sizing menus and item terms are different from program to program, and terms not yet standardized. Cooperative efforts of industry and academy on standardization of sizing menus and terms should be emphasized for the virtual fitting system to be widely used like the other computer graphic programs or word editors.

  • 경쟁이 심화됨에 따라 브랜드 신뢰성의 중요성이 커지고 있다. 고객들은 브랜드에 대한 신뢰를 바탕으로 선택을 하는 경향이 있기 때문이다. 기업들이 경쟁사와 차별화 되며 신뢰성이 있는 브랜드 이미지를 구축하려는 다양한 시도의 결과로 브랜드 개성이라는 개념이 생겨났다. 브랜드 개성은 브랜드 아이덴티티 확립이라는 기업의 목적과 자신이 선택한 브랜드를 통해 자신의 이미지를 표현하려는 소비자의 목적을 동시에 만족시켜주는 수단이 되고 있다. 브랜드 개성의 중요성이 커짐에 따라, 많은 학자들이 다양한 방법을 동원하여 그것을 명확하게 측정하기 위한 시도를 전개했다. 그러나 대다수의 연구들은 측정과 데이터의 분식에 많은 노력과 오랜 시간이 소요될 뿐만 아니라, 그 결과를 명확하게 시각화할 수 없는 언어적, 정량적 방법에 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 아바타를 활용하여 새롭고 가시적인 브랜드 개성 측정 방법을 개발하는 것을 목표로 한다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 아바타는 브랜드 개성을 시각화하는 효과적인 매체가 될 수 있다는 가정(假定)이 입증되었다. 아바타는 얼굴과 의복, 자세와 동작 등을 통해 인간의 개성을 나타내 줄 수 있으므로, 목적에 부합되도록 특별하게 디자인된 아바타는 법인(法人)의 특성을 대변하는 브랜드의 개성을 독창적으로 표현해 줄 수 있다. 둘째, 브랜드 개성이 여러 가지 유형으로 분류될 수 있고, 그 분류가 브랜드 개성 아바타를 디자인하는 데 필요한 지침으로 활용될 수 있다는 점이 명확해졌다. 셋째, 특별하게 디자인된 브랜드 개성 아바타의 효용성을 실제로 활용하여 실험을 한 결과, 아바타가 구체적이고 직관적으로 브랜드 개성을 측정하는 데 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 정확성 검증 실험을 통해서는 아바타들이 브랜드 개성 유형을 적절하게 표현하고 있음을 밝혔으며, 특히 아바타를 이용하여 기존 브랜드들의 개성을 측정해 본 결과, 아바타가 언어보다 브랜드 개성의 판단에 효과적이라는 것이 입증되었다.
