Every watch has a moment right before checkout where the shopper does something no product photo can help with: they glance at their own wrist and try to guess. A 42mm case reads completely differently depending on whether someone has a slim wrist or a broad one, and no amount of studio photography settles that question on its own. It’s exactly the kind of hesitation Watch Try-On exists to remove, and this release pushes that further.
At Camweara, we’ve introduced a series of updates to enhance the experience of our Watch Try-On. Among the things you’ll see in the latest updates are: accurate 2D watch rendering, smarter 3D watch placement through AI wrist detection, and an enhanced merchant dashboard. Let us learn about the new features in more detail.
In order to provide a more accurate virtual experience to watch buyers, we’ve made the following improvements:
All these improvements allow for a more accurate virtual try-on of the watches as well as better understanding of customer engagement for merchants.
One of the biggest improvements is the enhanced 2D virtual watch try-on experience.
When shoppers browse watches online, even small differences in case size can significantly influence how a watch appears on the wrist. To improve this experience, merchants can now enter the actual watch case size when configuring their products. This information is used to create a more accurate visual representation during the virtual try-on experience.
Rather than relying solely on a standard visual overlay, the updated rendering takes the provided case dimensions into account to better represent the watch’s scale on the user’s wrist.
The watch image is also automatically processed according to the specified case size. This helps maintain the watch’s intended scale and proportions when it is displayed on the user’s wrist, creating a more accurate visual representation during the 2D try-on experience.
The resulting image allows the customer to visualize the watch as it is intended to be seen on the wrist. This helps customers to better understand the proportions of the watches without actually trying them on. Apart from that, watch rendering accuracy has been improved in order to create a more natural visual experience for shoppers.
Also, the 3D Watch Try-On has been improved through the enhancement of AI wrist detection.
As you know, in the 3D virtual try-on, it is essential not only to show a 3D model of the watch but to put it in a correct position and let shoppers have a better understanding of the proportions. In order to do this, the wrist needs to be detected precisely in order to align the watch with it.
The enhanced AI wrist detection improves the watch placement on the wrist, providing a better alignment and positioning during the movement. The result is an improved virtual experience with a more believable placement of the virtual watch.
This helps watch customers better understand the way the watch should look in reality and provides the brand with a way to showcase the product in a more convincing manner.
The latest rendering improvements aren’t limited to watches. Camweara has also improved rendering accuracy for other wrist-worn products, including bracelets and bangles. This helps these products appear more naturally on the user’s wrist, giving shoppers a clearer idea of how they may look when worn.
Apart from the shopper side, the update has also brought some improvements to the merchant’s side of the service.
The Reports section of the updated dashboard helps the merchant to receive the information about how the customers interact with the Watch Try-On.
Some of the metrics that can be monitored include:
Through interactive reports and visual trends, it is possible to see the dynamics of customer engagement through time, which helps the brand to make better decisions about the product and marketing of it.
Instead of guessing what the customers think about your brand, you can see their interaction data and act accordingly.
Modern shoppers are tired of product pictures and are looking for ways to understand the product before the purchase. This is exactly the purpose of virtual try-on services.
This update of Camweara brings improvements to the 2D rendering, which makes the proportions of the watches more accurate through case-size-based visualization. Also, the wrist detection has been improved, making the placement of the 3D watches more natural. Meanwhile, the updated merchant dashboard allows better understanding the customer behavior through interaction metrics and personalization options.
All of this allows the brands to better showcase their products without sacrificing the simplicity of the virtual try-on journey.
Camweara is on a mission to reduce guesswork in online shopping and save billions of retailers & shoppers time and money.
