Augmented reality built for every industry.
Augmented reality places an accurate 3D version of a product into the customer's own environment, at true scale, through a phone or a browser. XO3D is a specialised 3D studio, founded in 2017 and based in Stevenage, UK, building AR experiences for brands across ecommerce and retail. Working from CAD, the studio produces an optimised model with physically based materials, then delivers it for the platforms agreed at the outset, across iOS, Android and WebAR. Typical applications include placing furniture in a room to judge scale and fit, and jewellery try-on, where proportion decides the purchase. The commercial case is straightforward: when a buyer can see the actual product in their actual space before committing, the decision is made with better information. Model preparation, tracking method, interaction and platform support are defined as part of the brief rather than assumed.
Why it works
Why brands use augmented reality.
Show products in context.
Let buyers view scale and placement in their own environment before they make a decision.
Support buyer confidence.
Use accurate models and clear interaction design, then measure the result against the site's own baseline.
95% prefer interactive content.
Shoppers prefer AR over video. Interacting with a product before purchase improves understanding and lifts conversion.
Works on every device.
iOS, Android and WebAR — supported natively without app downloads on most modern phones.
