  • Patent number: 7982750
    Abstract: A method for test-wearing image producing method for a personal product includes the steps of: posting a base image layer which contains an image of a wearer; defining a display area and a masking area on the base image layer in responsive to the personal product being physically worn by the wearer; selecting a product image layer containing an image of the personal product to locate on the base image layer; and creating a test-wearing image, wherein a portion of the image of the personal product within the display area is visibly shown on the image of the wearer while a portion of the image of the personal product within the masking area is invisibly hidden, such that the test-wearing image contains a virtual appearance of the wearer physically wearing the personal product.

  • Publication number: 20110071804
    Abstract: A method of spectacle frame 3-D simulation fitting over public network, such as Internet, based upon database of product information and digitized user images as acquired via devices connected to computer. Particularly, consumers can take advantage of present method to choose spectacle frames from wide variety of selections, expeditiously by the use of public computer network (Internet). Consumers may use digital cameras, network cameras or scanned photos to submit facial image, and by way of calibration steps and additional side-view images of the consumers when test-fitting spectacle frames, simulated 3-D presentation of a consumer wearing the intended spectacle frame can be viewed for purpose of fitting and purchasing over the network. With the accessibility and availability of the Internet, just a few clicks on the mouse enable the consumers to choose spectacle frames of their preference and in a way that affords wide selections at low costs and easy access.
