LONDON, Aug. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Eyekandy Ltd announced the mainstream adoption of AR shopping with the launch of an additional WebAR feature to the award-winning Point & Place® AR Platform.

Point and Place® offers retailers hundreds of the latest products in AR, from over fifty leading brands, including; LG, Microsoft, Mattel, Dyson LEGO, Fisher-price and Samsung with the free platform.

Eyekandy launched the WebAR feature with the UK’s largest electrical retailer, Currys PC World, this week. Stuart Ramage, eCommerce Director of Dixons Carphone, the parent company of Currys PC World, said: “We want to help our customers enjoy amazing technology and, whether they shop in store or online, augmented reality really brings to life what a product will look like in their home. Our app version of Point and Place AR has already seen impressive sales uplifts of up to 30% in some product categories, showing how valuable this is to customers. We’re really excited to integrate this into hundreds of products on our website and make the experience even easier and more immersive for customers.”
AR is fast becoming mainstream with shoppers, with Gartner predicting over 100 million shoppers will be shopping with AR in-store and online by 2020.
