Though some are sceptical, many believe virtual reality and augmented reality have the potential to profoundly enhance both the back and front ends of the fashion business.
But do these applications offer real value? Or are they just marketing gimmicks?
“The number one difficulty has been that there are a lot of false prophets at this stage,” said Tom Adeyoola, chief executive of London-based virtual fitting room company Metail, whose augmented reality “try-before-you-buy” solution aims to drive concrete business results. According to research conducted by Metail in conjuction with Tufts University and the Kellogg School of Management, the company’s AR application can boost sales by 22 percent.
Its bigger potential lies in the power of data collection, however, illustrating how consumer-facing VR and AR applications can drive back-end benefits. “Our big partner in India is using data that is coming through to re-cut their clothes to match the fact that India is not a one-size demographic — people are taller in the North and shorter in the South. They are starting to rethink and recut clothes,” said Adeyoola. “For another retailer, for example, we saw that only 20 percent of their customers matched the clothes that were cut. By resourcing the garments, they could do a better job of matching that demographic.”
For the moment there’s little doubt that VR and AR remain in their infancy. And much like e-commerce 10 years ago, when fashion and luxury brands were reluctant to sell online, there are those who doubt the potential of these new technologies. “But if the consumers are there, they have no choice,” says Abten. “If consumers complete their transition into VR/AR channels, brands — even the luxury ones — will have no choice but to embrace.”
Online retailers that offer both convenience and experience are winning out on business big time. The virtual dressing room is the latest trend revolutionizing the world of ecommerce.
