Cappasity has conducted holistic research to reveal the implications of immersive 3D/AR technologies for e-commerce.

According to the research, 95% of respondents find product pages with interactive 3D View content more engaging than those with product videos. 82% of product page visitors, an overwhelming majority, activate the 3D view. Time spent on interaction with 3D View content is just as revealing: customers engage with the 3D View for 20 seconds on average, with 34% spending more than 30 seconds on the interaction.

Why is 3D content preferable to videos?

There are 3 main reasons:

  • Unlike videos, 3D Views allow users to choose any product angle, zoom in for a closer look, and examine every detail in 4K resolution.
  • As content passes directly from the Cappasity cloud to the user, 3D Views do not slow down the e-commerce website.
  • Additional interactivity helps boost engagement and increases time spent on the product page, both of which have a positive impact on conversion. Interactivity also helps to reduce product returns.
