Abstract :
In this paper we propose a framework of a virtual clothing shop which meets the mass customization based on virtual garment design model. To incorporate the respective merits both online and custom-tailoring shops, the framework will be used to establish a new interactive model which consists of virtual human, virtual clothing and virtual interaction. Among this model, virtual interaction plays a pivotal role in transferring formation between client and designer. Furthermore, we explore various interactive approaches and user interface which is based on user-friendly, identifiable, state-of-the-art technique, comprehensive service and human-centered design. Ultimately, building this model will lay the foundation for latter commercialization at the end.
