Google Photos Adds AI Wardrobe Feature This Summer

Google has introduced a new AI-powered Wardrobe feature for its Photos app, set to roll out this summer on Android devices followed by iOS, enabling users to catalog their clothing from existing photos and virtually assemble outfits.

The feature scans a user's Google Photos library to identify individual clothing items and accessories, such as tops, bottoms, shoes and jewelry. It automatically organizes them into a digital wardrobe, complete with thumbnails and category filters for easy browsing. Users can then mix and match pieces to create outfits, save combinations to moodboards for occasions like work, vacations or events, and share them with friends.

A key component is the virtual try-on capability, which generates previews of selected outfits on a digital avatar or a model based on the user's photos. This allows experimentation without physical changes, similar to tools in online shopping but using personal wardrobe items. Google Photos, which recently added editing tools and other AI enhancements, positions this as an extension of features like its Try It On tool.

For optimal results, the AI performs best with well-lit, full-body photos of solid colors and simple designs....
