[[{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","text":"Augmented reality \u2013 abbreviated as \u201cAR\u201d \u2013 enhances the human perception of the real world by overlaying it with computer-generated digital experiences. This technology is commonly seen in smartphone AR applications where users hold their phone in front of them, and the app overlays digital information onto the real-world view captured by the camera. AR can display contextual information, gaming elements, or social experiences that seem to be part of the real world. Another way the use of augmented reality has evolved significantly, is by delivering immersive AR experiences through wearable smart glasses. These glasses aim to provide an always-on, intuitive, and secure navigation experience, combining an ultra-low-power processor with multiple sensors, all in a comfortable and lightweight form factor.","name":"What is augmented reality?","@id":"https:\/\/www.the-future-of-commerce.com\/2023\/09\/07\/ar-examples-e-commerce\/#Answer1"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"What is VR?","text":"VR stands for virtual reality. VR is a computer-generated virtual environment, where users are completely immersed in that virtual experience. Virtual reality is primarily used for entertainment experiences like gaming, concerts, films, and sports but is also expanding into social and professional domains. For instance, VR can provide immersive video conferencing experiences or be used as a tool for training, education, and healthcare. The focus of VR technology is on delivering high-quality video, rendering, and ultra-low latency to ensure a seamless user experience. Some VR devices need to be connected to a PC, while standalone devices, powered by high-end processors, offer portability and can be used anywhere.","@id":"https:\/\/www.the-future-of-commerce.com\/2023\/09\/07\/ar-examples-e-commerce\/#Answer2"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"AR and VR in e-commerce","text":"AR and VR technologies are revolutionizing the e-commerce industry by bridging the gap between online shopping and the tangible experience of traditional retail. AR allows consumers to visualize products in their real-world environment before making a purchase. For example, users can see how a piece of furniture looks in their living room or try on clothes virtually. This not only enhances the shopping experience but also reduces the likelihood of product returns.  VR, on the other hand, can transport users to virtual stores, allowing them to browse products in a simulated environment. This offers a unique shopping experience that merges the convenience of online shopping with the immersive experience of a physical store.  Both AR and VR in e-commerce aim to enhance user engagement, reduce return rates, and provide a competitive edge to businesses. As these technologies become more integrated into online shopping platforms, they are set to redefine the future of e-commerce.","@id":"https:\/\/www.the-future-of-commerce.com\/2023\/09\/07\/ar-examples-e-commerce\/#Answer3"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"BlogPosting","about":["https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shopping","https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Virtual_reality","http:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/entity\/Q12684","https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Retail","https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fashion","https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cosmetics","http:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/entity\/Q170519","http:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/entity\/Q254183","http:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/entity\/Q126793","http:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/entity\/Q26643","https:\/\/www.the-future-of-commerce.com\/2023\/09\/07\/ar-examples-e-commerce\/#About","https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Augmented_reality",{"@type":"Thing","name":"e-commerce","@id":"http:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/entity\/Q484847"},{"@type":"Thing","name":"E-commerce","@id":"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/E-commerce"}],"keywords":["Retail Trends","AR","VR","Augmented Reality","Virtual Reality","Fashion E-commerce","AI In E-commerce"],"url":"https:\/\/www.the-future-of-commerce.com\/2023\/09\/07\/ar-examples-e-commerce\/","headline":"AR examples in e-commerce: A whole new shopping experience","mainEntityOfPage":"https:\/\/www.the-future-of-commerce.com\/2023\/09\/07\/ar-examples-e-commerce\/","description":"Augmented reality is transforming online shopping.
