How to Create a Virtual Model of My Body Measurements

Virtual technology brings modern-day entertainment to life. While commonly associated with video games and movies, digital art can also serve as a motivational tool for weight loss or as an online shopping aid. By creating a virtual model of your body measurements and features, you can clearly see what changing your clothes or appearance might look like. Making a virtual model online takes just minutes and is usually free. If you're curious to see yourself in a new outfit or at a new weight, virtual models provide a fun way to visualize such changes.
