What Changes with Mirari
Mirari tackles this with Saved colorways (KHR_materials_variants): Store multiple colorways on one model and switch between them instantly in the 3D preview using the glTF materials-variants standard. Rather than another flat gallery, Mirari puts the garment on the shopper’s own body, live, with their real arms and hair in front of the cloth. Because perception and rendering run in the browser, the experience feels instant — and it costs nothing in cloud GPU. This is where Mirari comes in — the AI-powered virtual try-on and garment-design app built by ZadeNor AI. Since saved colorways (KHR_materials_variants) sits within the Design Studio part of Mirari, it fits naturally into how athleisure & activewear teams already work.
