## Abstract

The invention relates to two computer implemented methods providing virtual fitting room functionality to a human. The two computer implemented methods allow for a simple and efficient garment selection process by the human.

## Claims

### Claim 1

Computer-implemented method for determining a best fitting garment for a human, the computer-implemented method comprising:
establishing access to a stored garment catalogue comprising a plurality of 3D garment digital twins (GDT), each GDT associated to at least one of a plurality of garment types;
receiving a body model of the human;
receiving a garment instruction from the human about a chosen garment type via a graphical user interface, the chosen garment type being one of the plurality of garment types;
determining, based on the GDTs associated to the chosen garment type and the body model of the human, a best fitting garment according to a best fitting criterion;
providing the human with information about the best fitting garment via the graphical user interface; and
visualizing the best fitting garment on the body model in a virtual 3D environment.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

Computer implemented method according to claim 1, wherein the best fitting criterion comprises at least two sub-criteria, wherein each sub-criterion uses a measured model property of the body model and a corresponding measured garment property of at least one of the GDTs associated to the chosen garment type, and each sub-criterion comprises a metric for comparing the measured model property with the measured garment property, the metric providing a discrepancy, wherein the best fitting garment according to the best fitting criterion is determined to be the garment that minimizes a combination of discrepancies provided by the sub-criteria.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

Computer implemented method according to claim 1, wherein the best fitting criterion is provided by the human via the graphical user interface.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

Computer implemented method according to claim 1, wherein the visualization of the best fitting garment on the body model comprises vanity visualization functionality, wherein a horizontal extent of the body model and of the best fitting garment is changed by the vanity visualization functionality.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

Computer implemented method according to claim 1, further providing the human with the option to choose a next larger or a next smaller garment compared to the best fitting garment, wherein the next larger or the next smaller garment is visualized on the body model in the virtual 3D environment.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

Computer implemented method according to claim 1, wherein the body model is provided as a fully animatable body model by the computer implemented method according to claim 1.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

Computer implemented method according to one of claim 1, wherein the human is provided with the option of sharing the fully animatable body model in a dressed state via social media, and wherein the computer implemented method is able to receive feedback from external sources via social media.
