Augmented Reality (AR) is transforming the world of e-commerce by letting us experience and visualize products within our personal spaces. For artists, designers, and decor brands selling online, AR apps offer a unique way to showcase pieces while also providing transparency to their customers.
There's a reason why customers who use AR are 65% more likely to place an online order - AR is becoming the leading solution when converting store traffic to sales.
Unlike Virtual Reality (VR), AR is accessible because it doesn't require a headset for a shopper to use. All you need is a mobile device.
