A Virtual Try-On System for Prescription Eyeglasses

Area of Science:

• Computer Vision
• Optics
• Virtual Reality

Background:

• Corrective lenses cause visual distortions affecting appearance.
• Existing virtual try-on systems lack realistic simulation of lens effects.

Purpose of the Study:

• To develop a virtual try-on system for prescription eyeglasses.
• To realistically simulate the visual effects of corrective lenses, including distortion, reflections, and shading.

Main Methods:

• Generating a 3D representation of corrective lenses within eyeglass frames.
• Modifying input videos using image-based rendering to insert virtual eyeglasses.
• Simulating optical effects such as refraction, reflections, and shading.

Main Results:

• The system produces realistic virtual try-on experiences for prescription eyeglasses.
• It accurately simulates the appearance changes caused by corrective lens refraction.
• Incorporates reflections and shading for enhanced realism compared to existing methods.

Conclusions:

• The proposed system offers a significant improvement in virtual try-on realism for prescription eyewear.
• It effectively addresses the limitations of current systems by simulating complex optical phenomena.
• Enables users to better visualize the impact of prescription lenses on their appearance.
