The way we capture body and foot measurements is undergoing a radical transformation. Thanks to 3D body measurement apps, like 3D Avatar Body, it’s now possible to digitize the human body with a similar accuracy than traditional methods—while being far more accessible and cost-effective.
Don’t miss our upcoming webinar and learn how to integrate this technology in your business model. All the details below.
Advantages of 3D body measurements apps
3D body scanning enables companies to obtain highly reliable body data without the need for complex and expensive physical scanners. The key? A simple app that allows users to take their own measurements from home, delivering detailed and precise results ready to be integrated across multiple industries—healthcare, fashion, footwear, sports, and more.
If you’re looking for tools to get started, check out this selection of the best 3D body scanner apps for Android and iPhone. These 3D full body avatar creators meet a growing demand for personalization, convenience, and efficiency in processes that rely on anthropometric information.
How do 3D body avatar apps work?
They use a mix of computer vision, machine learning, and 3D modeling to estimate body dimensions and sometimes even create full 3D avatars.
1. Image or video capture
The app first collects visual data of the user. In 3D Avatar Body only 2 photos are required.
2. Pose estimation & key point detection
Using AI models, the app detects key points on the body such as shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles.
3. Depth estimation or 3D reconstruction
The app estimates depth using computer vision algorithms. Machine learning models trained on thousands of body types help infer missing dimensions and build a 3D body shape.

4. 3D model generation
The app stitches the data together to build a full-body 3D mesh or avatar
5. Measurement extraction & applications
Once the 3D model is built:
-

-
- The app calculates measurements by slicing the model at specific points and calculating circumference, width, and height.
- These measurements can then be used for:
- Virtual try-ons
- Fitness tracking
- Custom clothing fitting
- Health assessments
