Virtual Reality Tools to Help Online Shoppers Find Clothes That Fit
Stores watching Amazon take a larger share of clothing sales are trying to solve one of the most vexing issues for online shoppers: finding items that fit properly.

The retailers are unleashing tools that use artificial intelligence to replicate the help a salesperson at a store might offer, calculate a shopper's most likely body shape, or use 3-D models for a virtual fitting room experience. Amazon, which some analysts say will surpass Macy's this year as the largest U.S. clothing seller, is offering some customers an Alexa-powered device that doubles as a selfie-stick machine and a stylist.

Retailers want to reduce the rate of online returns, which can be up to 40 percent, and thus make customers happier — and more likely to be repeat shoppers. And the more interaction shoppers have with a brand, the more the technology will learn about shoppers' preferences, said Vicky Zadeh, chief executive of Rakuten Fits Me, a tech company that works with QVC and clothing startup brands.

"It's all about confidence," she said. "If they have the confidence to buy, they will come back to the retailer time and time again."

The push is coming from big names like Levi's and The Gap and startups like Rhone and Taylrd.

Levi's new Virtual Stylist texts back and forth with online customers to offer recommendations, based on their preferences. Marc Rosen, Levi's president of global e-commerce, said early tests show the chatbot is driving more browsers to become buyers.

Gap Inc. has an augmented reality app in collaboration with Google and startup Avametric that allows shoppers to virtually try on clothes. Shoppers enter information like height and weight and then the app puts a 3-D model in front of them. However, the tool only works on Google Tango smartphones.

Companies are smart to offer new tools, but many are too "gimmicky," said Sapna Shah, principal at Red Giraffe Advisors, which makes early-stage investments in fashion tech.

"If it's not Amazon, will brand-specific apps be the way for people to shop in the future?" she said. "How many apps are people going to have on their phone?"

And all the companies need to win over customers who prefer to touch and see things in person.
