The eCommerce industry faces a huge problem: reality vs. expectation. How many times have you as a customer returned something because it did not fit or look good? Imagine being the retailer that has to deal with those returns–that could also be you! Whether it’s apparel, home goods, accessories or even car parts, augmented reality’s “virtual try on” capabilities have been increasing customer satisfaction, reducing returns and boosting sales for digital retailers.
