Google Photos announced a new AI feature that creates digital wardrobes from clothing photos, allowing users to mix and match outfits and virtually try them on. The feature, inspired by the movie 'Clueless,' will roll out on Android this summer, followed by iOS.
Google Photos unveiled an AI-powered feature that automatically creates digital wardrobes from clothing images in users' photo libraries. The tool, reminiscent of Cher's virtual closet from 'Clueless,' allows users to filter items by category including tops, bottoms, and jewelry, then mix and match pieces to create different outfits. Users can share outfit ideas with friends or save them to digital moodboards for various occasions like travel, work, or date nights. The feature also includes virtual try-on capabilities to preview looks. Google will launch the feature on Android later this summer, followed by iOS, where it will appear under 'Collections.' The company notes that AI will recognize clothing and accessories in photo libraries to create individual snapshots, competing with existing apps like Acloset, Combyne, and Pureple.
