XR is transforming shopping experience like never before

A couple try out different pieces of tasteful furniture and accessories for their home without buying a single item. A car buyer test-drives the model of his choice while he is standing in the showroom. How do they do it? It is all thanks to XR. Using Augmented Reality and their smartphones, the couple is able to virtually decorate their home and see what works, and what doesn’t; while the car buyer takes a VR drive to experience the car in different settings. Extended Reality is transforming traditional retail as we know it by placing the power to purchase, quite literally in the palm of their hands. And it is placing retail enterprises at the forefront of a technological revolution.

It is all about customized experiences and personalised interactions that promise convenience, speed and efficiency. It is predicted that this year alone, there will be 3.4 billion mobile phones with advanced AR capabilities, giving billions of shoppers instant access to information that influences purchase. Imagine being able to scan the nutritional details of a drink while it is on the shelf! Or trying on a dress while it is still on the rack! These are just some of the applications that come to mind with many more in store. What it means for retail enterprises is that they need to be equipped with the latest XR solutions to cater for such consumer demands. At TILTLABS, we are constantly focused on developing solutions that drive change in the retail sector. For example, we have created a live VR car showroom where the user can explore both the interior and exterior of the car in a realistic setting. There is much more to retail XR than meets the eye.

What we do

Taking the concept of commerce from the store shelf to the smartphone, XR continues to push the boundaries of retail. Here are some examples of XR in action to create fulfilling customer journeys.

Reduced product return rates

XR gives the customer an opportunity to interact with the product before actual purchase. As a result, there is less post purchase remorse, fewer returns and greater conversion.

Enhanced brand recognition

By adding a VR or AR gamification element to the physical products, retailers can create engaging customer experiences that result in higher brand recall.

Realistic product placement

Stores like furniture outlets can apply AR to give customers a preview of how the product would look in a real-life setting.

Increased customer footfall

Location-based solutions such as AR store windows can attract shoppers’ attention and draw them into the store.
