FourAtoms App Screens

Overview

FourAtoms is an AI-powered AR mobile app that redefines how users shop for gym and sportswear. By combining Augmented Reality (AR) try-ons with AI-driven fashion recommendations, the app allows users to virtually try outfits, get personalized suggestions based on their physique and complexion, and purchase seamlessly—all in one experience.

The app offers a futuristic and engaging way to explore gym wear collections, bridging the gap between technology and fashion while ensuring convenience and personalization.

The Challenge

Online shoppers often struggle to visualize how sportswear will actually look and fit before purchasing. Returns due to improper fit or style mismatch are common, and most e-commerce platforms fail to provide realistic previews or personalized recommendations.

Additionally, athletes and fitness enthusiasts seek confidence and motivation through attire that suits their body type—but traditional platforms provide limited guidance or interactivity in this process.

The Solution

FourAtoms empowers users to virtually try on gym wear in real time using AR and receive AI-based outfit recommendations tailored to their physique, skin tone, and preferences. Users can capture images, share them on social media, and make direct purchases from integrated online stores.

The system also includes an admin dashboard for managing products, monitoring analytics, and tracking user engagement. Together, these features deliver a seamless, immersive, and intelligent shopping journey.

Design Process

We followed a user-centered design approach, conducting extensive research with fitness enthusiasts and online shoppers to understand pain points in virtual shopping.

1

Research & Discovery

Conducted user research with fitness enthusiasts and online shoppers to identify major friction points in virtual shopping. Insights revealed that users desired a realistic virtual try-on, quick product navigation, and personalized outfit suggestions.

2

Wireframing & Prototyping

Designed low-fidelity wireframes in Figma emphasizing product visualization, camera-based AR try-on flows, and recommendation placement. Prototypes were tested to refine transitions and interface ergonomics for a smooth AR experience.

3

User Testing

Ran multiple testing sessions with users to validate AR calibration accuracy and UI intuitiveness. Feedback helped simplify navigation, improve lighting integration in AR, and make the recommendation module more prominent.

4

Visual Design

Adopted a modern, athletic-inspired visual style with energetic tones, high-contrast typography, and dynamic imagery. The design balances minimalism with energy—reflecting the motivation and confidence behind fitness fashion.

Key Features

The app combines practical functionality with thoughtful design touches to create a seamless experience that addresses the unique needs of fitness enthusiasts and online shoppers.

Visual Design

The visual design balances athletic energy and modern aesthetics, with a color palette inspired by fitness motivation and typography that ensures readability across all user interactions.

Color Palette

The color palette takes inspiration from athletic energy — bold blacks and deep blues paired with vibrant accents of neon green and white for contrast. The tones express power, confidence, and performance.

Typography

The app uses Poppins for its bold headings and Inter for body text, maintaining a clean and tech-driven aesthetic that complements its fitness theme.
