Technologies for virtually trying-on items

Abstract

This disclosure enables various technologies for virtually trying-on items (e.g., a jewelry item, an earring, a garment) in a manner that is more realistic than currently known techniques.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system comprising:
 a processor programmed to:
 access a map of a virtual object, wherein the map segments the virtual object into a set of virtual regions and each virtual region in the set of virtual regions into a set of virtual zones that are polygonal and border each other within that respective virtual region; 
 access a set of images depicting a virtual item from a set of rotational angles that are different from each other; 
 receive a first user input selecting the virtual item; 
 receive a second user input selecting a virtual zone from the set of virtual zones positioned within a virtual region from the set of virtual regions; 
 select an image from the set of images corresponding to the virtual zone positioned within the virtual region based on the second user input; and 
 enable a virtual try-on of the virtual item on the virtual object responsive to the first user input and the second user input based on the image selected. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the virtual item is a jewelry item. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the virtual item is a garment. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the virtual item is a tattoo. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the virtual item includes an area that is dynamically hidden during the virtual try-on. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the virtual item an area that is dynamically unhidden during the virtual try-on. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the virtual try-on has a magnetic effect based on the second user input. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the virtual object includes a virtual skin tone such that there is an appearance of a virtual reflection of the virtual skin tone on the virtual item and the virtual reflection varies based on the virtual skin tone. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the virtual object includes a virtual skin tone such that there is an appearance of a virtual shadow of the virtual item on the virtual object and the virtual shadow varies based on the virtual skin tone. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a server including the processor. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a smartphone or a tablet including the processor. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a smart mirror including the processor. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the smart mirror includes a reflective mirror and a display underneath the reflective mirror. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the smart mirror includes a reflective mirror and a display side-by-side the reflective mirror. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a wearable including the processor. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first user input and the second user input is a single user input. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein the single user input is a drag-and-drop user input. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the virtual object represents a virtual human. 
     
     
         19 . A system comprising:
 a processor programmed to:
 receive an image of a body part of a user, wherein the body part is frontally presented in the image; 
 identify a virtual piercing in the body part that is frontally presented in the image; 
 identify a scale of the body part that is frontally presented in the image; and 
 present a visual content recommending a virtual item to be virtually tried-on the body part frontally presented in the image to the user based on (a) where the virtual piercing is located on the body part frontally presented in the image and (b) the scale. 
   
     
     
         20 . A system comprising:
 a smart mirror including a housing, a processor, a camera, and a display, wherein the housing houses the processor, the camera, and the display, wherein the processor is in communication with the camera and the display, wherein the processor programmed to:
 receive a left imagery and a right imagery from the camera, wherein the left imagery frontally presents a left ear of a user standing before the camera, wherein the right imagery frontally presents a right ear of the user standing before the camera; 
 identify a virtual left ear from the left ear frontally presented in the left imagery and a virtual right ear from the right ear in the right imagery; 
 set the virtual left ear to a left preset scale and the virtual right ear to a right preset scale; 
 identify a set of left virtual anatomical regions in the virtual left ear as set in the left preset scale and a set of right virtual anatomical regions in the virtual right ear as set in the right preset scale; 
 segment each set in the set of left virtual anatomical regions into a set of left virtual regions and each set in the set of right virtual anatomical regions into a set of right virtual regions; 
 cause the virtual left ear, the right virtual ear, and a virtual earring to be simultaneously presented on the display; 
 receive an input from the user while the virtual left ear, the virtual right ear, and the virtual earring are simultaneously presented on the display; and 
 cause the virtual earring to be virtually tried-on the virtual left ear or the virtual right ear on the display responsive to the input.
