They’re not made for videos because they work awfully in video. The videos are for you to “try it on” and then you can pay for the photoshop. It’s pretty cringe, and a stupid waste of time and money.

It’s a giant scam, but I definitely agree that the amount of waste we create from fast fashion is INSANE and the problem continues to grow. I think the solution is ethically produced, PRACTICAL clothes that are built to last a long time. Such clothes are becoming increasingly hard to find, and increasingly expensive. Most stores where I used to find pieces that lasted years, now when I buy items from them, I’m lucky if I get a few months of use out of them before they are no longer wearable. It’s getting ridiculous.

AR clothes are just doing a make -believe at this point trying to sell you smth that is 1. expensive 2. can't be worn irl 3. looks (questionable) in the photo / does not look good in a video

[@Fauna_CR]

It's probably so expensive since there's still artists and designers behind the work, the clothes have to be modeled and rigged too. It's kinda silly sure, but if they're not hurting anyone I hardly see an issue. That's why the fact that they sell NFTs is the real issue here. You don't have to contribute to environmental destruction to put on some digital clothes.

[@madisonweber2480]

@@Fauna_CR yeah but I distinctly remember them making the claim that their goal is to fight fashion pollution, so what we have here instead is greenwashing. Also I work with people who make AR filters and I promise you none of those are worth a 100$. (Real) fashion costs so much because garment construction is a very complicated process which involves a lot more skill than creating an AR filter and a lot more resources, which is why designer items are so valuable. You can do whatever you want with your money though, my point is simply that the eco-friendly claims are bs and this is just another money grab.

[@GeoQuag]

In Safia Nygaard’s video, they actually photoshop the clothing onto your still images when you pay for them. The AR is the “free” version for people who won’t pay per edit. It’s still really silly, but they look better than just the AR ones

[@cactustactics]

I haven't looked into this at all so I've no idea what I'm talking about - but I'm guessing they basically take your pic, build a scene in some 3D software that approximates what's in the pic (similar lighting, maybe some objects if you're lucky), pose a human model to match you and hang the clothes on it, and then composite the render with the original pic. There's a fair few hours' work in that, so if that's what they're charging for and not the snap filter, I guess that's not ~so~ bad?

honestly the concept of vr clothes would actually be great for cinema, given that more time be put into making it stable. But also isn't that just what motion capture is? You can motion capture someone into a beast im pretty sure you can do the same with clothes already

[@vylbird8014]

Do all the time. A lot of modern films are more visual effects than they are actual footage. Marvel are especially well-known for this. You can tell it's CGI when you see people doing something that obviously isn't real like riding dinosaurs, but most of the effects in movies are simply because it's faster and cheaper to fix things in CGI than to film things perfectly. That can include changing an actor's clothing to make their pose more dramatic, or because the director decided they want to make a stylistic change to the wardrobe. Changing the outfit in visual effects can be cheaper than setting up the stage again to re-film a scene.

[@DrFishsticks]

“I have worn 67 digital outfits so far, that means I have saved 264,000 liters of water” you’re telling me that each outfit saves 3,940 liters of water? Yeah okay

[@vylbird8014]

The water usage to make an outfit is probably a lot higher than that. Cotton needs a lot of irrigation. It's still terrible math though, as it assumed that each digital outfit used is one real outfit not used. It's the same math that media companies use to explain why piracy is costing the economy trillions of dollars: Take the number of downloaded MP3 files, multiply by the retail value of an album on day of release, wave figure at lawmakers.

@@audreydoyle5268 Yes, but it doesn't rain back down in the places you want it. Fresh water will never run our, but each region only gets so many centimetres-per-year. In drier regions that isn't enough for the agriculture they run so it has to be supplemented with groundwater, which does run out.

[@GalladofBales]

To me this is the same kinda shit as switching to compostable plastic cups to "save the environment". Yes I guess it's marginally better for the environment, but it still promotes the same culture of overconsumption that is closer to the root of the problem. Do we really think this VR fashion concept deters people from wanting more clothing for social media? Or does it just feed that mentality which will still drive people to buy fast fashion?

[@Jaaaannnneeee]

Yeah like,, the fact that it says “don’t shop less, shop virtual” is SO telling. Overconsumption is a huge issue and so many companies/influencers/etc try to greenwash themselves while still promoting it.

[@thepandoricaoffandomsbacku7349]

Plus just buy less, having virtual clothes is not the same as the pleasure of styling a real outfit, and you can’t materially use them, while compostable plastic cups are actually useful

[@stitchfinger7678]

Overconsumption isn't the problem, companies literally dumping billions of gallons of oil into the ocean and millions of tons of CO2 into the air, and literally nothing happening, is the problem. Corporations could push for less consumption if they wanted to. We're just living in the paradigm provided.

[@Jaaaannnneeee]

@@stitchfinger7678 well, yes you’re right, but I think corporations are pushing the current culture of overconsumption/consumerism, and have benefited from it for a while. Obviously the average person isn’t to blame, but what can we do against a corporation, especially one that has made itself necessary in our (I’m speaking from a North American perspective btw) society? The only thing to do is consume less, and vote. Even buying green, if bought mindlessly, will cause excess waste and damage (and so many companies greenwash that green products likely aren’t as green as implied). Sometimes it’s just nice to do something easy to sleep at night. Like buying less, or using public transit. Nobody thinks that’ll save the world, or that it’s the only problem. Just that it’s *a* problem, and one of the only ones the average person can actually control. It doesn’t solve much, but apathy and a “no ethical consumption under capitalism, so why bother” attitude solves less. Idk I’m probably preaching to the choir here though.
