How to create an AR shopping experience

Cappasity offers groundbreaking solutions for brands looking to create high-quality AR content. With our solution for fashion, brands can create AR holograms which allow consumers to interact with items like they would in real life, offering them an accurate and complete view of products. The production of an AR hologram takes as little as 20 minutes vs 3–5 days with other solutions.

AR holograms provide animated looks, allowing shoppers to see the materials in movement. Brands can use AR holograms for not only e-commerce but also engaging in-store shopping, since AR holograms target a common pain of shopping for apparel — the inability to envision how the clothes on hangers will look in real life.

To help consumers better understand how the item fits, a store can print QR codes redirecting shoppers to AR holograms and add them to item tags. The consumer will simply need to scan a QR code with their smartphone, and they will be able to explore a whole outfit in the surrounding environment.

With Cappasity’s virtual try-on for rings and watches, online stores can provide shoppers with try-before-you-buy experiences, making online shopping more convenient and engaging.
