The new Flipkart camera makes use of the augmented reality feature which will let the users visualize products before purchasing them.
In an updated report by Livemint, the Flipkart shoppers will have a next-level shopping experience using the AR-based camera. This will specifically assist the users to have some advanced visualization of the “large” products at home.
Through the incorporation of the augmented reality feature, real-life shopping can now be made more interesting, so shoppers can formulate better judgments on what products they should purchase.
This also paves the way for the users to have a lively online interaction.
Customers Could See 3D Layouts of Products Through the Flipkart Cam
For instance, shoppers who want to view large appliances, such as washing machines and fridges, can have a quick look at their actual sizes. Before, we could only do this when during the actual purchase of the product, but since the pandemic erupted, Flipkart has devised an effective and safe way to assess the product without compromising the user’s health.
The provided visualization for the shoppers helps them to view furniture or an appliance in a 3D model thanks to the new Flipkart camera.
According to the Indian e-commerce firm, they believe that this AR-based cam will improve the confidence of the shoppers.
More so, it would also avoid them guessing more about the products as they could visualize it before buying. The virtual interaction with the product won’t jeopardize their decision-making skills in selecting their preferences from several brands.
Flipkart’s chief product and technology officer, Jeyandran Venugopal, said that they are continuously transforming the e-commerce experience of the people and making it more immersive for them.
Moreover, through the latest Flipkart camera, the company wants to help the customers establish strong decisions before making a product purchase.
Apart from that, Venugopal stated that it would also aid the users to have the most appropriate selection for the product of their liking. They also aim to develop an improved customer experience for that reason.
Flipkart has been inspired to develop the AR-based Flipkart camera following the surge in the population of smartphone users.
