A virtual mirror is a technology employed in retail stores, enabling customers to virtually try on dresses, tops, and other apparel using their avatars in the mirror. It leverages augmented reality technology to showcase to users how an outfit would appear on them without requiring physical try-ons. Through motion rendering technology, the virtual mirror displays the outfit, allowing onlookers to visualize its appearance in various motions and lighting conditions, encompassing both daytime and nighttime looks.
The primary segments within the virtual mirror market consist of software, hardware, and services. Software, serving as the foundational computer program, plays a crucial role in virtual mirrors by providing the programming that governs their functionality. This includes algorithms like the face alignment algorithm and tracking algorithm engine. Various technologies, such as 3D body scanning, photo-accurate VFR, 3D augmented reality, and virtual reality, find applications in retail and other industries. The deployment modes for virtual mirrors include both cloud-based and on-premises solutions.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science dedicated to developing intelligent machines capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. In virtual mirrors, AI enhances the user experience by enabling real-time try-on simulations and personalization while also providing retailers with valuable data to improve product recommendations and marketing strategies. For example, in May 2022, The International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), a US-based technology firm, reported that 35% of businesses globally utilized artificial intelligence (AI) in 2022, marking a 4% increase from 2021. Therefore, the rising adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) is fueling growth in the virtual mirror market.
