E-VISION by ActivMR: Instant Outfit Swaps in Real-Time Motion Capture for Retail, Runways & Exhibits

Step in front of a mirror and watch your jacket change colour, texture and logo before your eyes—no joystick, no touch-screen, no changing room. E-VISION makes that possible with two everyday cameras and a laptop-sized edge box that maps new garments onto your reflection in typically under 40 ms. The result is a 26 fps video feed where fabric sways, creases and catches light as if you were really wearing it, giving shoppers, models and visitors an immediate “try-before-buy” rush that static posters or VR headsets cannot match.

How it works  

The system locks onto shoulder, hip and elbow contours rather than tracking every finger or vertebra. This silhouette-first approach keeps hardware minimal, with two USB-C cameras and an edge unit drawing approx. 45 W, so boutiques can place it on a cosmetics counter, while exhibition teams can slide it behind a half-silvered mirror. When you rotate, the algorithm reprojects the 3-D garment using pre-computed cloth physics, so hems lift and logos stay readable from every angle. A single staff member can update the line for the new season by dropping PNG textures into a folder, without writing code or adjusting calibration rigs.

Where it feels at home  

l Retail: keep the fitting experience alive after hours by letting customers compare three coats in thirty seconds, then generate a QR code so they can share the clip and a purchase link with friends.

l Runway: during fashion week, project the same look onto five differently sized models in real time, eliminating costly sample tailoring for press previews.  

l Exhibits: in heritage museums, visitors “wear” period costumes for souvenir photos without touching fragile fabrics, keeping conservation teams happy.

Built to scale  

If your venue already has glass, lighting and foot traffic, you are one USB cable away from turning every passerby into a living mannequin.
