AR in Retail allows companies to significantly increase online conversion rate and reduce returns rate of products. Most of AR options provide extra information and personal customization that does not only preview product but also help customers ensure that they like it. The ability to visualize a virtual representation of products in 3D, to scale and in their intended environment, enables shoppers to make better judgments, removing the need to measure and verify dimensions. Once they have made their determinations, they may either buy directly online or go to the store to complete their purchase. Not only does this eliminate a point of friction between the consumer viewing and buying the product, but it also maximizes the probability of them being satisfied with their purchase once received, decreasing the number of returned products.Software reached a market size of approximately 734 million USD in 2019, with 61.19% of global market size. Augmented reality can help online retailers significantly reduce returns by providing an engaging ‘try-before-you-buy’ digital experience. Innovative AR solutions allow customers to visualise products in real time, from the comfort of their own homes. Full 3D visualisations give the opportunity for shoppers to see how products could look in their space before they commit to purchase, reducing the temptation to order multiple items to try out before choosing one and returning the others, a practice that is increasingly common.
