Augmented reality has been floating around for years with games that have taken the world by storm, promises of a digital world on top of the real one, talks of new forms of entertainment, and so much more. But, each of these applications has to date fallen short of providing real benefits to the world. AR in eCommerce, on the other hand, has been making a major impact on many companies' top line revenue. For the few companies that have bit the bullet on the high price tag to roll out wide-scale AR for their products, they have been pleasantly surprised at increased sales conversions, lowered return rates, and happier customers.
Seek has been at the forefront of making this possible. With customers ranging from Walmart and Overstock to Nestle and Vans, Seek has emerged as the leader in helping brands implement AR for eCommerce. Through Seek's proprietary 3D pipelines, world-class web-based AR deployment technology, and award-winning Seek Studio that allows brands to manage their content, Seek has opened the door for brands large to small to begin seeing major impacts on their eCommerce business today.

Augmented and virtual reality (also known XR) has the potential to transform the retail industry as a powerful merchandising tool, and 3D representations of products will be everywhere in retail, appearing on mobile, web and AR/VR devices enabling customers to interact with photorealistic products in virtual showrooms. Retailers will also benefit from 3D, as they will be able to create richer representations of their products across a diverse set of platforms. This technological advent is proving itself game-changing for retail, but without 3D being experienced consistently across all platforms and devices, the production remains siloed, expensive and tough to scale. Making the future XR- & 3D-rich retail landscape a reality will require collaboration of many different retail & technology companies that must ensure customers can find these experiences on many different platforms—from search results to social feeds to ad units to apps, ecommerce, websites, mobile AR devices, VR/AR headsets, & more. In this session, including Khronos Group 3D Commerce Working Group members, come together to discuss some of the current challenges of bringing XR & 3D applications to retail & explain what efforts are being made so far to overcome them.

The Fashion industry is one of the most powerful growth engines in eCommerce. Online sales from just Accessories and Bags for example is expected to reach $85 billion by 2020. But Fashion returns are estimated to be between 30% to 50% - amounting to losses of billions of dollars annually.
Augmented Reality can change all that.
The potential of AR to transform retail fashion is huge. AR is already impacting many fashion experiences, from viewing designer bags in 3D to trying on shoes, eyewear, earrings, hats and other accessories with your smart phone. AR is also now enabling shoppers to experience virtual fashion shows with the world’s top models right in their own living rooms.
For an industry that is plagued by high return rates and focused on design and brand, the ability to evaluate apparel online for fit and design is a true game-changer.
This panel will examine the current state of AR in fashion, explore the progress of virtual try-on solutions and take a look at the future where personal virtual mirrors could change retail in a profound way.

Imagine a world of online shopping where you’ll never again have to purchase anything with only a small, blurry product picture to reference; where you can see stunning 3D models of every sneaker, couch, and coffee mug before you purchase; where you’ll never have to wonder what a product will actually look like when it finally gets delivered to you. Join VNTANA’s Ashley Crowder as she explores how simplifying the creation, management, and distribution of 3D assets across the web, AR, and VR benefits both brands and consumers; how XR is being utilized to create a more seamless and advanced e-commerce experience, driving revenue and fostering brand affinity.
