Walmart has launched a new augmented reality feature that allows shoppers to virtually try on clothes.

The Be Your Own Model tool uses machine learning technology originally developed for topographic mapping so customers can view how apparel will fit on their bodies, along with shadows, colors, and simulated fabric draping.

Be Your Own Model runs on Walmart's iOS application, with shoppers able to upload photos to model the apparel on images of their bodies.

Walmart's Cheryl Ainoa said the process is energy efficient so customers will not run down their phones' batteries.
