Revolutionising shopping with augmented reality
Augmented Reality (AR) is transforming the way we shop. Imagine trying on clothes without stepping into a fitting room or visualising how a new sofa would look in your living room without moving a muscle. AR makes this possible by overlaying digital information onto the real world. According to a report by Statista, the AR market is expected to reach £15.5 billion by 2023, highlighting its growing influence.
Here at iWeb, our expert developers are leveraging AR to create immersive shopping experiences. For instance, our talented team recently worked on an AR project for a leading furniture retailer, allowing customers to see how products would look in their homes before making a purchase. This not only enhances the shopping experience but also reduces return rates, saving businesses time and money.
Virtual reality: stepping into a new dimension
Virtual Reality (VR) takes immersion to the next level by creating entirely new environments. Imagine walking through a virtual showroom or attending a virtual concert from the comfort of your home. VR offers endless possibilities for businesses to engage with their customers in innovative ways.
The team at iWeb has been at the forefront of VR development, creating bespoke solutions for various industries. For example, we recently developed a VR experience for a car manufacturer, allowing potential buyers to take a virtual test drive. This not only provided a unique experience but also helped the brand stand out in a competitive market.
Enhancing customer engagement with interactive experiences
Interactive experiences are key to keeping customers engaged. AR and VR offer unique ways to interact with products, making the shopping experience more enjoyable and memorable. According to a study by Retail Perceptions, 61% of shoppers prefer to shop at stores that offer AR experiences.
iWeb’s 29 years of e-commerce experience have taught us the importance of customer engagement. Our Adobe Commerce Specialists have developed interactive features that keep customers coming back. For instance, we integrated an AR feature into an online clothing store, allowing customers to see how different outfits would look on them. This not only increased engagement but also boosted sales.
Boosting sales with augmented and virtual reality
AR and VR are not just about enhancing the customer experience; they also have a significant impact on sales. A study by Deloitte found that AR can increase conversion rates by up to 40%. By providing a more immersive and interactive shopping experience, businesses can encourage customers to make purchases.
Our talented team at iWeb has seen firsthand how AR and VR can boost sales. For example, we worked with a beauty brand to create a virtual try-on feature for their website. This allowed customers to see how different makeup products would look on them, leading to a 30% increase in sales.
Streamlining operations with AR and VR
AR and VR are not just for customer-facing applications; they can also streamline operations behind the scenes. For example, AR can be used for training employees, while VR can be used for virtual meetings and collaboration.
iWeb’s e-commerce expertise extends to streamlining operations. Our Adobe Commerce Agency recently implemented an AR training program for a retail client, reducing training time by 50%. This not only improved efficiency but also ensured that employees were better prepared to assist customers.
Integrating AR and VR with existing systems
Integrating AR and VR with existing systems can be challenging, but it’s essential for a seamless experience. At iWeb, we specialise in ERP integration, ensuring that AR and VR solutions work seamlessly with your existing systems.
Our expert developers recently integrated an AR feature with an existing ERP system for a client in the foodservice industry. This allowed the client to manage inventory more effectively and provide real-time updates to customers, improving the overall shopping experience.
Future trends in AR and VR
The future of AR and VR is bright, with new trends emerging all the time. For example, the rise of 5G technology will make AR and VR experiences more seamless and accessible. Additionally, advancements in AI will enable more personalised and interactive experiences.
iWeb – an enterprise e-commerce agency, is always at the cutting edge of these trends. Our Adobe Commerce Partners are constantly exploring new ways to leverage AR and VR to enhance the customer experience. For example, we are currently working on a project that uses AI to personalise AR experiences based on customer preferences.
