Neden Önemli?
The concept of a digital closet was popularized by the 1995 film 'Clueless,' where Cher's character had a virtual wardrobe system. The fashion industry and various startups have attempted to recreate this technology, with apps like Acloset, Combyne, Pureple, and Wearing already existing in the market.
Google Photos on Wednesday announced a new AI-powered feature that will soon turn photos of your clothes into a digital closet where you can create new outfit ideas, and even virtually try on your creations. Yes, the idea takes obvious inspiration from Cher's iconic virtual wardrobe featured in the movie "Clueless," where she could scroll through her various ensembles while deciding what to wear.
Google says the new feature will leverage AI technology to automatically create a copy of your wardrobe that's based on the pieces of clothing appearing in your Google Photos library. From the app, you'll be able to filter items by category — like tops, bottoms, jewelry, and more — then mix and match them to create different outfits.
The idea of a digital closet in "Clueless" was meant to highlight Cher's life of privilege. As a result, the fashion industry and various startups have long sought to recreate the feeling of easy outfit creation. Google is betting that AI technology will make it possible for anyone to have access to a similar tool, one that could improve over time as AI advances.
Those outfit ideas can either be shared with friends or saved to a digital moodboard, where you could save ideas for different occasions, like travel, events, date nights, work, and more. In addition, another feature will let you virtually try on items to preview the looks.
The feature is not yet live, but Google says it will roll out to Google Photos on Android later this summer, followed by iOS, where it will be found under "Collections." It will compete with existing apps like Acloset, Combyne, Pureple, Wearing, and others.
