Innovation Spotlight: Promote inclusivity with an expanded silhouette library

We pride ourselves on the extensive amount of personalization that we provide to our clients. When a solution is drastically different from a retailer’s website, it can create an inconsistent shopping experience. Tangiblee not only wants to create an immersive shopping experience, but also a consistent one, which is why we provide such a wide array of silhouettes.

Tangiblee’s adjustable silhouette feature allows online shoppers to interact with adjustable models to accurately represent their unique body type. This feature is especially useful when shopping for items such as handbags. By adding personalization and engagement to the buying experience, retailers can increase buyer confidence and sell-through. It’s enterprise-ready and easy-to-deploy for catalog sizes up to 100,000 SKUs. 

We are excited to announce that we have recently expanded our library to include more body shapes, unisex options, styles, and more. We aim to not only expand the library to be more customizable, but also more accessible. Our product designers have worked tirelessly to create a plethora of models that support diversity and inclusivity.

Frequently Asked Qustions

No. Virtual try-on adds a visualization layer on top of a product; it doesn't replace accurate product data or existing imagery. In a quality-checked pipeline, the brand's existing product photo is actually the foundation the result is built from.

It places the brand's real 2D catalog photo of the item onto a hand, wrist, or ear from a reference photo, rather than generating a new image of the product from scratch. The item's proportions and details come from the actual product photo; the AI handles scale, angle, and blending onto the shopper's photo. This is different from older try-on technology, which mapped a manually built 3D or 2D asset onto the shopper using fixed geometric rules, and different from generic AI image generators, which typically synthesize the product rather than place a real photo of it.

We recommend supporting the launch with a dedicated email announcing the new feature, ideally featuring an animated GIF that demonstrates the experience in action and links to a category page with VTO-enabled products.
‍

To build broader awareness, homepage visibility is also important. Banners or other prominent placements can help introduce the feature to more visitors and encourage trial.
‍

We also suggest adding a short explanation of how the feature works. Even when the experience is simple, some shoppers may benefit from a little extra guidance before they feel comfortable using it.
‍

Finally, we recommend promoting the new capability across social media and user-generated-style content so that more of your audience is exposed to it and encouraged to engage.
