Forma's Moon Mission 🚀

Forma is pushing the boundaries of computer vision technology to build photorealistic avatars that are a dynamic and deeply personal form for people's digital identity. Given that almost everybody asks themselves 'What do I wear' on a recurring basis, Forma is starting by digitizing every outfit in the world so that anybody can see themselves in any outfit with just a single photo, instantly and photorealistically. As distribution costs go to zero, anybody can try on unlimited outfits and form their sense of style as personal and nuanced as their Spotify playlist or Instagram profile.
