Virtual try-on uses augmented reality to show products on the shopper’s body through their phone or laptop camera: glasses on a face, rings on a hand, shoes on feet or lipstick shades on lips. It brings part of the in-store experience online and helps shoppers choose with more confidence.
1Categories Where Try-On Works Best
- Eyewear and sunglasses
- Jewellery and watches
- Footwear
- Beauty and cosmetics
- Hats and accessories
2How It Works
The camera feed is analysed to track the face, hand or feet in real time, and a 3D model of the product is overlaid with correct position, scale and lighting. Web-based try-on runs in the browser without an app, which is important for eCommerce conversion.
3Business Benefits
Try-on increases engagement and confidence, which can raise conversion rates and reduce returns caused by fit or appearance issues. It also creates shareable moments that support social marketing.
4What You Need
Accurate 3D models of each product variant, a try-on technology provider or custom WebAR development, and integration with your product pages. Start with best-sellers to measure impact.
5Measure the Impact
Compare conversion rate, average order value and return rate for shoppers who used try-on against those who did not.
