When a user browses an online retailer's Web site or a mirror site, the user
can select an item and model the item online by having a server generate a digital
image of the user wearing the item. If the user is still unsure as to whether to
buy the item, the user can enter an online chat room in which the online modeling
image is displayed to other users. The user can then receive the other users' feedback
before deciding whether to buy the item. In a second embodiment, multiple online
modeling images are generated to provide the user with a customized catalog, which
can be of items for a single merchant or multiple merchants.
