I suspect the end game will be you get body scanned at a salon then the clothes are chosen for you by AI and then your true to life Avatar models them for you.

To be fair I am surprised anyone is surprised this was going to happen. They can have whatever model they want without the model. This has got to be the way forward now. How can it not be? The tech is there as you can see from that picture. That's pretty impressive despite the points Veteran made and I'm sure that's just poor work rather than the capability not being there. Strange they've made such a bad job of the eyes though...

Doesn't get away from the question of what image of beauty they will portray though but that question has been around for ages when they use skinny models, not enough diversity etc. Same issue will be around digital or not surely. Any retailer making the pictures look too beautiful surely are shooting themselves in the foot when the reality doesn't match and they go elsewhere.

Is this the end of supermodels? PrettyLittleThing debuts its first virtual star to 'bridge the gap between Metaverse and real life' - but some claim it promotes 'unrealistic beauty standards'
PrettyLittleThing has debuted their first virtual model on their clothing website

UK-based retailer is aiming to bridge the gap between Metaverse and real life

Social media users have been asked to suggest names for the virtual model

Critics argue the character will make more unrealistic beauty standards

Eyes are slightly glassy and skin too smooth but other than that it could be real, at least her assistants won't get beaten up or her septum disappear from all the nose candy.
