Our patented technologies enable accurate prediction of the human body’s response to clothing and other objects. The technology leverages decades of research breakthroughs in simulating physics, modeling soft tissues, and high-performance computing at the University of British Columbia. Accurate simulation with trust-worthy soft avatars finally unlocks the promise of virtual prototyping to reduce waste, reduce returns,  increase speed-to-market, and enable more inclusive designs.

VitalFit: testing fit with soft avatars

VitalFit is a breakthrough in virtual fit testing using high-fidelity soft avatars. It integrates easily into existing apparel workflows and 3D garment CAD software.

High-fidelity: VitalFit soft avatars are based on tissue measurements of more than a hundred human participants. Our data-driven garment models capture the non-linearity and anisotropy of fabric physics and garment construction. Advanced finite element methods are used to simulate soft tissues with contact and friction. We model a large range of body types, to promote inclusivity.

Ease of Use: Our scalable cloud architecture offloads compute-intensive fit simulations to our servers so there is no need for an additional investment in computers. 3D fit tests can be run at different stages of the product lifecycle, and results accessed securely, from any Internet browser, by authenticated users. This facilitates communication within a team working remotely, and collaboration between retailers, brands, and vendors.

VitalFit is available now for our early access partners. Contact us .
