Virtual try-on features are becoming standard in many virtual worlds and online platforms.
It would be nice if we could preview Marketplace items, like clothes, accessories, and skins, right on our avatars without purchasing demos, logging into SL, and teleporting in-world. This could also work like a cloud-based dressing room.
I’m imagining a “Try-On” button that temporarily shows the item on your avatar in the viewer. Something like a temporary attachment or viewer-side preview. Creators could upload a special preview version, and the system would render it locally without saving anything to your inventory.
Maybe the SL viewer could fetch a demo version and render it directly or use a sandboxed attachment layer that applies the item temporarily using a HUD. Either way, it would simplify the shopping experience and cut down on clutter and extra steps.
It would help eliminate demo folders piling up in inventory. Residents won't need to log in to try things on. It would be easier for new users to explore fashion and avi customization and save time.
New users usually do not understand how to unpack boxes, wear items, or teleport to demo areas, and overall, this could potentially lead to more confident purchases with fewer regrets overall.
It would also modernize the shopping experience and allow creators to showcase their work better.
Thanks
