Virtual fitting rooms are a very important tool in on-line shopping, which can save time, promote products, increase sales, and reduce number of returns. The main objective of this paper is to design an interactive virtual clothes try-on system that would make the on-line shopping process much easier, and affordable at the lowest cost possible in the local country of Jordan, which we consider as a case study of this work. The novelty of our work is that we use a cost effective RGB-D sensor, simple 3D cloth textures, and alignment/fusion procedure to build robust and interactive virtual fitting room targeted for the local market. Microsoft Kinect V2 sensor what was used in implementing the proposed system. Experimentations supported by real data from the Kinect sensor demonstrate its effectiveness and robustness. A user study was conducted among 65 Jordanian university students to evaluate the effectiveness and attitude toward using the proposed system. The study results indicate the importance and usefulness of the proposed system.
