Digital garment relies on 3D software or artificial intelligence to produce data-intensive digital 3D garment simulations.
Digital garments can be worn and presented in virtual environments, social media, online gaming, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) platforms.

Digital garment inside a video game
Video games play an important role in contributing to the development of digital fashion in general, first beginning with dress-up games that used avatars and allowed players to select garments.
Physical garments from fashion brands are often copied and adapted into the aesthetics of games. During the COVID-19 confinement users started recreating outfits from different fashion brands, including Chanel, Gucci, and Versace. This made video games a platform for users to express themselves beyond their avatar and combine the self-expression of fashion into the digital gaming realm.

A virtual dressing room (also often referred to as a virtual fitting room and virtual changing room although they do perform different functions) is the online equivalent of the near-ubiquitous in-store changing room – that is, it enables shoppers to ‘try on’ different outfits and to check one or more of size, fit or style, but virtually rather than physically often using AR technology.
