Otto Replaces Model Photoshoots With In‑House AI for Product Images

Otto touts its in-house Movex system for faster, cheaper product imagery.

Overview

  • The Movex | Virtual Content Creator, built with Otto’s tech unit one.O, generates photorealistic model images from a single product photo within minutes.
  • Otto projects up to five times more daily image output and up to 60% lower production costs, enabling new collections to go online within hours.
  • Staff can select virtual models across gender, ethnicity, age, and body type, then set poses and outfits to create varied looks at scale.
  • The company plans to extend the platform to AI-generated video and sees strong potential for furniture visuals shown in multiple scenes.
  • Otto highlights an ethical review step in the workflow, as reporters note unsettled questions about labeling AI images and possible legal or societal impacts.
