WANNA by Perfect Corp. Unveils Shoulder AR Try-On for Bags
Developing a realistic and stable shoulder virtual try-on presented a unique technical challenge: ensuring the bag remains correctly positioned even as users turn sideways to check proportions and outfit matching in the mirror. WANNA addresses this with a proprietary AI-powered engine built to perform in real-time:
Real-Time Pose Estimation:
Precise 3D body tracking with low latency is essential for natural bag placement. WANNA's system uses highly optimized neural architectures specifically designed for mobile devices, balancing speed, accuracy, and energy efficiency to deliver real-time 3D pose and joint estimation - at frame rates fast enough to keep up with user movement.
Segmentation & Occlusion Handling:
One of the hardest challenges in AR is determining when a virtual object should be partially hidden behind real-world elements like arms or hands. WANNA's AI handles these scenarios with intelligent segmentation and depth-aware modeling, ensuring realistic layering and preventing unnatural overlaps.
Advanced Temporal Smoothing for Seamless Motion:
Frame-to-frame inconsistencies in pose estimation can cause flickering or instability in object placement. WANNA's temporal smoothing algorithms employ advanced filtering techniques to deliver seamless, fluid motion, enabling the virtual bag to move naturally with the user, particularly in video mode.
Multiple View Support:
Works in selfie mode, mirror view, and side perspectives, maintaining correct positioning and scale across camera modes for a fully immersive virtual try-on experience.
Behind this technology is a powerful data engine: a proprietary dataset of 487,000 training images, including 169,000 manually labeled, 127,000 AI-synthesized, and 190,000 pseudo-labeled samples. This large-scale, diverse dataset — spanning different body types, lighting conditions, and angles — was critical in training the system to deliver accurate and visually consistent results across product styles and real-world usage scenarios.
WANNA fine-tuned the shoulder try-on experience based on extensive user research with luxury shoppers, ensuring a realistic and valuable tool for online purchases. Before rolling out the feature, WANNA conducted usability testing, where high-end consumers highlighted its accuracy and realism.
"Fashion consumers expect digital shopping experiences as engaging and detailed as in-store interactions," said Zina Grossman, Head of Growth at WANNA."With the shoulder try-on feature launch, we're refining how bags are showcased online and delivering an intuitive and memorable shopping experience."
"At Perfect Corp., we are committed to pushing the boundaries of AR virtual try-on in fashion retail," said Alice Chang, CEO of Perfect Corp. and WANNA."The addition of shoulder try-on to WANNA's Bags Virtual Try-On suite is a testament to our dedication to innovation. By delivering hyper-realistic virtual experiences, we are empowering brands to engage with customers in meaningful ways, bridging the gap between digital and physical retail."
WANNA VTO for Bags is designed for seamless web integration, ensuring broad accessibility across all digital platforms. The technology easily integrates into e-commerce websites, allowing brands to enhance engagement without additional software requirements. Moreover, WANNA Virtual Try-On is optimized for digital marketing, with shareable links that can be embedded into newsletters, Instagram, WeChat, and TikTok campaigns, driving interaction and product visibility. WANNA Virtual Try-On for Bags is now available via SDK integration.

California American Water Files Motion for Summary Judgment on Hostile Government Takeover Attempt
PACIFIC GROVE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--California American Water has filed a Motion for Summary Judgment asking the Monterey County Superior Court to enter Judgment in favor of California American Water and dismiss the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District's (District) lawsuit seeking to take ownership of the company's Monterey Peninsula water system through eminent domain. The motion argues that the District cannot meet fundamental legal requirements needed to proceed with its action, which therefore should be dismissed. 'California American Water is the Monterey Peninsula's provider of safe, reliable water service. Our team is focused on and remains committed to serving their community,' said Evan Jacobs, Director of External Affairs. 'The District does not have the required Monterey County LAFCO approval or authority to be a retail water provider and has spent more than $3 million dollars of residents' funds on their misguided effort.' California American Water's motion asserts that the District lacks legal authorization from the Monterey County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) to provide retail potable water service. In addition, California American Water asserts that the District is not and has never been an operator of a public water system responsible for the provision of safe drinking water to homes, schools and businesses. The District was created to manage water resources and endeavor to find new, reliable water sources. It is not a retail potable water provider. Subject to any appeals, the Motion for Summary Judgment will end the eminent domain case with judgment in favor of California American Water. 'The Water Management District needs to focus on its original charge, to secure reliable new water sources for the Monterey Peninsula and protect the Carmel River,' said Jacobs. 'Instead, they are focused on lawsuits that are driving up costs for local residents.' California American Water and its predecessor companies have operated the Monterey Peninsula's water system for more than 60 years. The system currently serves roughly 100,000 people with a network of over 680 miles of pipeline and over 100 storage tanks. It is one of the most complex water systems in California.
