The present invention relates to a contextual experience system and method, and more particularly to a method for synthesizing a physical image and a contextual audiovisual material into a synthetic image, so that the user can clearly understand the situation of the clothing in a specific situation. And methods.

When purchasing clothing, in order to find the clothing that suits you best, you often need to change clothes that try different styles or colors. Because it takes a lot of time and effort to constantly change the try-on, many people feel troubled and inconvenient. In recent years, there has also been a wave of online shopping, and people can choose and buy their favorite clothes online. However, when purchasing clothes through the Internet, the purchaser can't change clothes and try to wear clothes. Many buyers receive the clothes they buy and wear them on their bodies, only to find that the clothes they buy are not suitable for themselves. When shopping, his mind imagined that the clothes were worn on the body.

In view of this, computer systems that can simulate fitting clothes have been published one after another. This kind of computer system virtually puts the built-in clothes in the system on the human body image to achieve the effect of the simulated fitting. People can use the aforementioned computer system to quickly simulate the fitting, without actually changing the dressing clothes.

However, when the system puts the built-in virtual clothing on the human body image, due to the limitation of computer calculation technology, the visual effect and the actual clothing worn on the human body still have a considerable degree of difference, that is, distortion. The level is still quite high. Moreover, the system does not have the function of simulating the actual dressing environment, and the user cannot further understand the appearance of the clothes in a specific environment, which is inconvenient for the user. All of the above are technical issues still to be solved.
