Virtual Try-On isn’t just about superimposing clothes. To build confidence, you need cultural accuracy, body data, and a narrative that explains why the recommendation is valid.

Technical-Cultural Checklist

  • Body language: offer mannequins and avatars with different skin tones and Latin contexts so the user feels seen.
  • Units: show centimeters and regional equivalents (MX, AR, CO) to avoid confusion.
  • Audio/captions: subtitle in neutral Spanish and adapt idioms according to the country if the audience is local.

Frictionless Measurement Capture

  1. In-app video guide with clear poses and references to everyday objects (an A4 sheet, for example).
  2. Use of LiDAR or standard camera + AI to reconstruct proportions with a margin of error <3%.
  3. Cross-validation with purchase history and adjustments that the user marked as “perfect.”

How it Reduces Returns

  • The “Pressure Zones” module colors areas where a garment would fit snugly and suggests alternative sizes or fabrics.
  • If the user saves the look in their digital wardrobe, xlook measures how many real combinations it unlocks and calculates the cost per wear.
  • The aggregated data is sent to the pattern making team to iterate on patterns.

Key Metrics to Monitor

UX Microtips

  • Allow changing lighting (office, street, interior) to evaluate real colors.
  • Add automated comments on drape and mobility (“ideal for traveling, doesn’t wrinkle”).
  • Offer comparisons between two sizes with visual indicators for abdomen, hip, and length.

Integration with Other Channels

  • Insert QR codes in physical stores so customers can continue trying on at home.
  • During live shopping, synchronize the Virtual Try-On so the host can share live experiences.
  • Export approved looks to social media with official filters to encourage UGC.

By taking care of every technical and cultural detail, the Virtual Try-On becomes a real ally to improve conversion and satisfaction.
