Description

A clothing product sales system linked to a metaverse server with an avatar, and its device}

The present invention relates to an apparatus for selling clothing products linked to a metaverse server having an avatar that is mirrored and manufactured in real time in response to customer image information, and more particularly, a seller provides a metaverse server with a product for sale, an avatar, A immersive space is displayed, and customers use avatars to try products displayed in the immersive space before making a purchase decision. Provides a service for the purpose of improving purchase satisfaction by giving customers an objective evaluation of the product. system and method for doing so.

A customer directly visits a clothing store to purchase a product or purchases a product through a shopping mall in cyberspace. The traditional method of visiting and purchasing a product store has the advantage of being able to purchase after experiencing the product directly, but there is a limit to the display of various products due to space constraints, and the cost of using space increases the customer burden due to the price increase. there is a problem. Products in shopping malls provided in cyberspace have the advantage of being able to display various products without spatial restrictions, and have the advantage of being able to purchase at low prices by eliminating space use costs and limited distribution and management costs for space exhibitions. There is a limit to reality and judgment in that it is a purchase based on the image projected on the screen without confirmation. In addition, even in the case of products of the same quality, there is an irrationality in that a seller's product that utilizes the function of the screen well is sold at a high price.

In order to help customers make objective judgments, various technologies have been proposed to overcome the limitations of the lack of personal experience of products, such as providing videos using models or posting customer product use evaluations.
