Transform online shopping with advanced 3D, AR, and VR technology
Spatial commerce, also known as visual commerce, is revolutionizing the online shopping experience by integrating spatial computing with 3D visualization, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR), allowing customers to interact with products in a dynamic, three-dimensional space.
Spatial commerce is more than a trend; it's a game-changer, especially for complex products in the B2B sector. It enables realistic product visualization, streamlines sales training, minimizes rework for custom products, and accelerates part identification. Beyond industries such as manufacturing and fashion, it paves the way for innovative metaverse business models, enabling brands to sell virtual experiences, services, and goods.

Breaking boundaries
Tackle ecommerce's toughest challenges with Spatial Commerce
In the fast-paced world of ecommerce, businesses face numerous challenges related to engaging customers, closing sales, and standing out in crowded markets. Welcome to our exploration of the challenges that Spatial Commerce addresses head-on. Discover how this innovative technology is reshaping how businesses across industries overcome obstacles and usher in a new era of success.
Misguided purchases
With 3D models and virtual displays, customers gain a deeper understanding of products, reducing misunderstandings and leading to more informed purchasing decisions. This increases customer satisfaction and helps businesses provide clearer product information.
High return rates
Elevate your shopping experience by allowing customers to accurately visualize products in their own spaces. This not only minimizes the chances of returns due to misfit or dissatisfaction but also significantly cuts down on return processing costs, simultaneously enhancing customer satisfaction.
Outdated product catalogs
Gain a competitive edge by offering a unique, immersive shopping experience that outpaces traditional online catalogs. With 3D models and virtual displays, you can attract tech-savvy customers, foster brand loyalty, and set yourself apart from the competition.
Limited product understanding
Bring your products closer to your customers – with immersive 3D models and virtual product displays. These dynamic, interactive solutions effectively narrow the distance, encouraging customers to engage with products intimately. Enrich customers' understanding of product features and quality, thereby nurturing a foundation of trust in your brand.
Cart abandonment
Minimize shopping cart abandonment by addressing the main issue: uncertainty in purchasing decisions. By allowing customers to visualize products virtually in their own space, they gain confidence that the product will perfectly fit their living area. The result: informed purchasing decisions and increased conversion rates.
Expensive product photography
Revolutionize product presentations by replacing costly photo shoots with customizable 3D visualizations. Say goodbye to expensive logistics, studio rentals, and editing. Embrace a practical alternative that conserves resources while enhancing your product presentation capabilities.
High costs for physical showrooms
Eliminate the expenses tied to traditional physical showrooms. Offer customers a global, 24/7 platform to explore products at their leisure. This shift not only saves money but also provides a more interactive and accessible shopping experience, revolutionizing the way businesses showcase their products and reach their customers.
