Why AR and 3D Matter
Customer expectations have shifted toward visual eCommerce. Engaged consumers spend 60% more per transaction and purchase 90% more frequently.
The 6 Basics
1. Digital Roadmap
Establish strategy before implementation. Determine primary objective and choose appropriate distribution channel.
2. 3D Models
Create using laser scanning, photogrammetry, or 3D modelling — optimised for web or app deployment.

High-fidelity models depend on talented artists. Models must reflect how products appear in reality.
4. Seamless Site Integration
Choose platforms with existing apps or plugins handling 3D asset hosting efficiently.
5. Data Capture
Track interactions to understand customer behaviour and identify optimisation opportunities.
6. Product Benchmarking
Start with manageable portfolio. Implement A/B testing across iterations before expanding.
