Abstract
A system allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. The system provides feedback to the user on how their designs may appear in a virtual store or storefront, such as through virtual reality or augment reality techniques.
Claims23
A method comprising:
- providing a garment design tool that allows previewing on a computer screen of a selected garment base customized by a user with a finishing pattern, wherein the garment design tool comprises
- for a plurality of garments created using the garment design tool, receiving a first selected garment and a second selected garment from the user;
- receiving from the user a request to populate a virtual store template with the first selected garment, wherein the virtual store comprises a plurality of virtual surfaces;
- populating, based on a first virtual surface type associated with a first virtual surface of the plurality of virtual surfaces, the virtual store template to associate the first selected garment with the first virtual surface;
- populating, based on a second virtual surface type associated with a second virtual surface of the plurality of virtual surfaces, the virtual store template to associate the second selected garment with the second virtual surface, wherein the second virtual surface is different from the first virtual surface;
- generating a virtual reality simulation of the populated virtual store template with the first and second selected garments, wherein a user can navigate the virtual reality simulation and view previews of the first and second selected garments.
3 more elements
A method comprising:
- providing a garment design tool that allows previewing on a computer screen of a selected garment base customized by a user with a finishing pattern, wherein the garment design tool comprises
- showing a preview image of a first selected garment on the computer screen comprising a base image for a first garment base with a first surface pattern, wherein the first surface pattern is associated with a first laser input file to be used by a laser to produce the first surface pattern onto a surface of a garment, and
- allowing the user to add the first selected garment as part of a collection of garments;
- receiving from the user a request to populate a virtual store template with the collection of garments comprising the first selected garment and the second selected garment, wherein the virtual store comprises a first virtual surface;
- populating, based on a first virtual surface type associated with the first virtual surface, the virtual store template to include a plurality of garments in the collection of garments on the first virtual surface, and
- the first virtual surface type is associated with a first scheme to present the plurality of garments in the collection of garments on the first virtual surface;
- and
- generating a virtual reality simulation of the populated virtual store template with the first and second selected garments, wherein a user can navigate the virtual reality simulation and view previews of the first and second selected garments.

- providing an option for the user to add the first selected garment as part of a collection of garments;
- receiving from the user a request to populate a virtual store template with the collection of garments comprising the first selected garment and the second selected garment, wherein the virtual store comprises a first virtual surface;
- populating, based on a first virtual surface type associated with the first virtual surface, the virtual store template to include a plurality of garments in the collection of garments on the first virtual surface, and
- the first virtual surface type is associated with a first scheme to present the plurality of garments in the collection of garments on the first virtual surface;
- generating an augmented reality simulation of the populated virtual store template with the first and second selected garments, wherein a user can navigate the augmented reality simulation and view previews of the first and second selected garments.
