Augmented Reality

Augmented reality has come all at once, but has also seemingly eased into our everyday lives in ways we don’t realize.

Warby Parker 

Using Apple’s ARKit® software and TrueDepth® camera technology, along with their own proprietary frame placement and fit system, Virtual Try-On allows Warby Parker customers to try on eyeglasses and sunglasses—seeing the realistic color, texture, and size of each style—with an iPhone X (and above). 

Since Warby Parker’s inception of Virtual Try-On in 2019, net revenue increased 45%. Their virtual-try on is a game changer in the user experience and not only increases conversions but decreases the amount of returns needing to be processed. 

Brands such as Sephora, NYX, and Tarte Cosmetics are increasing revenues with their AR technology. 

In 2016, Loreal was the first cosmetics company to partner with Snapchat to create a filter for advertising their new Silkissime Eyeliner [5,6]. They set a precedent in the beauty industry and now almost all big name makeup brands are incorporating AR technology on their websites and apps. 

Tarte Cosmetics has enjoyed a number of benefits since deploying the Perfect Corp. powered virtual try-on technology, including:

Home Products 

Ikea, Houzz, Homedepot, and Target are just a few among several brands leading in home AR technology. 

Buying furniture and home decor has taken on a whole new level. People are spending more time online making these decisions than they are in the store. According to Shopify, ecommerce returns can be up to five times higher than those for goods purchased in brick-and-mortar stores.

IKEA lets you virtually place true-to-scale 3D models in your very own living space.
