Amazon App gets upgraded and updated with an Augmented Reality Feature

The biggest online retailer unveiled its feature for the app last week. AR View enables the selective app users to try their new products virtually even before purchasing them. A 3D Rendering is shown to the users or customers. Now, What is a 3D rendering? A 3D Rendering is the overlaying of 3D Images or generation of 3D Images in real-time. This Rendering shows how the product would look or feel. A wide range of products is enabled with AR View on Amazon’s mobile app. The products include- Furniture, Vessels, Toasters and also Amazon’s Echo Devices.

AR View is built with Apple’s ARKit technology. Here’s what one of the many users who tried this feature has to say about it, “The virtual products were a bit jumpy on my phone’s screen and the picture definition and colouring won’t have you confusing the images for the real thing.” As a result of using AR View, customers get a clear picture of the colour and dimensions of the product. In turn, this will be helping them make the right choice.
