What is virtual try-on?

Virtual try-on is a digital technology that lets shoppers see how a product would look on them using AR. It places a realistic 3D version of your product directly onto a live image or 3D avatar of the customer. 

Virtual try-on is common among industries where appearance, fit, or color plays a significant role in the buying decision. It provides an opportunity to showcase your products and also engage with your customers.

How a virtual try-on works

Virtual try-on makes use of AR and AI to give a realistic virtual try-on experience.

1. Computer vision & facial/body mapping

It begins with scanning the user's face or body using the device's camera. The virtual try-on detects body parts and scans the eyes, nose, chin, or shoulders to create a digital map of the person. The mapping enables your product to align with the customer's part.

2. Augmented reality overlay

After the virtual try-on maps out the body part, it places a digital version of the selected item on the customer's live image. This virtual product adjusts as the customer moves, and it maintains a realistic positioning. For example, if a customer turns their head while trying on products like earrings, the jewelry appears to swing naturally, just as it would in real life.

3. Product customization

GlamAR allows you to customize products to match your brand's preferences. Because of this feature, your customers can adjust the size of your products or change colors in real time. It gives your customers the opportunity to completely take control over how they want the product to be. 

4. 3D product rendering

Virtual try-on helps you to display every product in a 3D model that is created from product scans or design files. These 3D models allow your customers to view your products from various angles and spin them, providing a complete and immersive experience.

Benefits of virtual try-on

Virtual try-on benefits both customers and brands. These benefits are:

1. Reduces product returns

One challenge brands face is the possibility of product returns. Customers sometimes buy items that don’t fit their criteria or appear differently in real life. With virtual try-on, your customers can make more informed choices that will result in fewer returns and reduced revenue loss for retailers.

2. Increases customer confidence

When customers see and they feel confident about the product they’re buying, they’re more likely to complete the purchase. This is especially important for new buyers or those hesitant about trying new brands. Our virtual try-on provides them with a digital equivalent of a fitting room, so they feel confident

3. Increase engagement

Virtual try-on naturally increases the time shoppers spend on your product pages due to its interactive nature. It encourages shoppers to explore and try on different products. It also offers user-friendly ways to experiment with different products until they find the perfect fit.

4. Supports sustainability

Suppose you’re getting fewer returns; that automatically means less shipping, less packaging, and less waste. Virtual try-on is a valuable tool for reducing the environmental impact of shopping. Because of its virtual nature, shoppers do not need to travel to a physical store.

5. Helps brands differentiate

While many e-commerce websites still rely on static 2D images that can't be rotated or interacted with, virtual try-ons have become standard. It has changed the game with the 3D experience, which allows customers to see products from every angle and in realistic detail. This technology is still being adopted, which means that early adopters are viewed as being committed to customer satisfaction.

This will make it easier for people to try different products quickly, without needing to handle physical samples. In the future, shoppers will simply stand in front of a mirror and instantly see how items look on them without having to change or test anything physically.
