Online retailer Lingerieplease.co.uk is using video technology to create a virtual dressing room on its website. The tool allows users to command models of their size to walk around and turn to show a realistic portrayal of what the item would look like on them. This video technology was previously used by the company Knickerpicker, a company acquired by Lingerieplease’s parent company Justsayplease Ltd, in 2011.
