■ Aiming for collaboration between VIRTUAL CLOTHING ™ and AVATARIUM
The culture of purchasing clothes to be worn on an avatar and actual clothes at the same time is called “GET BOTH (trademark pending)” and “BOTH BUY (trademark pending)”, and “VIRTUAL CLOTHING ™” data is created with “AVATARIUM”. We will provide users with new fashion value that allows them to wear “GET BOTH” and “BOTH BUY” on Metaverse * and in-game by wearing them on their virtual avatars. We also aim to contribute to the promotion of DX in the fashion industry by simultaneously utilizing the produced data for virtual fitting.

■ About the measurement function and accuracy of AVATARIUM SCANNER
“AVATARIUM SCANNER”, a fully automatic and unmanned virtual human generator, is equipped with a measurement function. Although there is a slight error from the real size, we think that there is no problem in changing the clothes of the avatar. In addition, we are currently developing a “nude estimation AI” based on this measurement data.
