What Is Virtual Try-On?
Virtual try-on (VTO) uses AR or AI-generated avatars to simulate how garments look and fit on your body digitally. It’s designed to reduce fit uncertainty and decrease returns, offering a smart alternative to in-store trials. For best results, combine it with Tellar’s precise sizing tools.
