How Augmented Reality in Ecommerce Can Deliver a More Enticing Shopping Experience?

One of the biggest challenges of online shopping is that it doesn’t lend itself well to a full sensory product experience. In a brick-and-mortar environment, you can try on clothes, touch fabrics, or see for yourself just how big a couch looks in a room.

While those things aren’t technically possible in ecommerce, augmented reality (AR) applications offer a way to give customers deeper and more complete information about your products — right from their own home.
