customer, the shopper scans the selected product
through AR app to get the detailed description of
the product. - If the shopper has selected a particular pair of
jeans and added to the cart, AR app empowered
with AI capabilities suggests the matching
t-shirt corresponding to the selected jeans.

physical retail outlets, this technology is
showing wonders in ecommerce stores too. People

is overcome with the advent of Augmented Reality
technology in ecommerce. - No more you would be confronted with the
situation where you order a décor item for home

image of product in real world space to gauge its
size, look and feel in the practical world.
