Methods for virtual fitting using non-proprietary user information for improved privacy

A method for providing a user with the ability to try on a garment virtually, the method being carried out by a processor and comprising:

• receiving, via a graphical user interface, a selection of a base model of a plurality of base models;
• scaling the selected base model depending on a brassiere band size and a brassiere cup size of the user;
• rendering the scaled base model;
• rendering a garment on the scaled base model by superimposing a product mesh on the scaled base model;
• providing, via the graphical user interface, qualitative feedback to user using the rendering of the garment on the scaled base model;
• calculating a fit value of the product mesh on the scaled base model by calculating distances between each predefined reference point of a plurality of predefined reference points on a skin of the scaled base model and corresponding predefined reference points on an inside face of the product mesh;
• and
• comparing the calculated fit value to an ideal fit value and providing, via the graphical user interface, quantitative feedback indicative of the fit of the selected garment to the user based on the comparison.

• receiving, using a graphical user interface, non-proprietary information from the user;
• scaling a base model depending on the non-proprietary information provided by the user;
• receiving, via the graphical user interface, a selection of a garment to be virtually tried on;
• retrieving a base product mesh for the selected garment,
• wherein the base product mesh is associated with a plurality of predefined reference points each corresponding to a respective predefined reference point of a plurality of predefined reference points on a skin of the scaled base model;
• scaling the base product mesh based on a selected garment size;
• rendering a garment on the scaled base model by superimposing the scaled base product mesh on the scaled base model and mapping the base product mesh to an image of the garment;
• presenting, via the graphical user interface, the rendering of the selected garment on the scaled base model, thereby providing qualitative feedback to the user indicative of the fit of the selected garment;
• calculating a fit value of the scaled base product mesh on the scaled base model by calculating distances between the predefined reference points on the skin of the scaled base model and corresponding predefined reference points on an inside face of the base product mesh;
• and
