Visual Try-On: Augmented Reality Apps
AR-based virtual try-on has become a cornerstone for retail brands aiming to elevate the online shopping experience. By integrating these solutions into their eCommerce platforms, brands enable customers to virtually try on products such as clothing, accessories, and makeup before making a purchase. Leveraging AI algorithms, virtual try-on accurately detects and tracks users’ body and facial features, bridging the gap between online and brick-and-mortar shopping. Real-time rendering of virtual objects onto users’ live video feeds is essential for providing an immersive experience, necessitating a focus on real-time graphics and rendering capabilities in AR apps. This technology not only reduces product returns but also boosts customer confidence in the brands themselves.
