Ditto (Zenni Optical)

Process

The customer can choose live try on, or see how the glasses look like on a model. If they choose live try on, the customer needs to record a short video first, then use a plastic card (credit card size) to align their forehead for a correct fitting of the virtual glasses.  

Pros  

The solution is integrated with all of Zenni’s eyewear collections. Users can try on sunglasses, prescription glasses, protective glasses, and more. When the customers have found glasses they like, they can instantly add them to their shopping cart.


FITTINGBOX (Jins or LOOK OPTIC)

Process

Once allowed access to the camera, the customer can start to try on glasses online, and the pupillary distance measuring process is skipped. You can also click on the left corner icon to upload an image, and virtually try ons with the image. If you want to try different frame sizes, you can choose before the try on process.

Pros

The try on process is smooth, similar to Ditto and other virtual try on solutions, when users have found their desired pair of glasses, they can add them directly to their shopping cart.


Warby Parker

Process

Users need to download the app (which currently supports iPhone X and above) for trying on virtual glasses. After downloading, users can choose the frames or materials to try on.

Vertebrae (Eyebobs)

Process

Choose a frame and lens first, once the camera permission is accepted, the customer can try on glasses. If the customer would like to change the lens tint or frame, they need to go back a step.

Pro

The try on process is smooth. If customers lack ideas about which glasses to try on, the website also provides a frame quiz to inspire the users for more choices.


EYEBUYDIRECT

Process

Once the camera permission is accepted, the customer can directly try on glasses online, but the pupillary distance (PD) measuring process is skipped too. Note that if you're wearing a mask, need to take off the mask so the virtual eyeglasses will show on your face. You can also change the colors of tints or frames during try-ons session.

TRYME

Process

TRYME provides instant face detection once the camera permission is accepted. They offer a section of pupillary distance for the customers to manually choose themselves, or they can skip this step. The try-on process is smooth, but if the customers want to try on another pair of glasses, they need to go back to the menu and choose another one.

Pro

The try-ons procedure is simple, and customers can try on the same glasses with different styles. The solution also supports various e-commerce platforms.


Vint & York

Process

Once the desired glasses have been chosen, the customer can click on the "VIRTUAL TRY-ON" button to start the process. Once the camera permission is accepted, the customer can see how the glasses look on him/her directly. 

Pro

The try-on process on Vint & York is simple too. And the customers can try it on through a live camera or selfie photos.


BARNER

Process

Similar to the solution above, after choosing a frame, the customer can click on the "VIRTUAL TRY-ON" button and either determine their gender or choose the pupillary distance by themselves, then they can start trying on eyewear. Once the camera permission is accepted, the customer can see the chosen eyewear directly on their face.

Pro

While trying on the chosen eyewear, there are recommended eyeglasses options listed side by side for the customers to try on. We were waiting a bit when changing the virtual eyeglasses SKUs, but it's nice to try on a few similar options in one session. The virtual try ons sessions are also integrated with the shopping cart, meaning once the customer chose the ideal pair, they can purchase instantly.

Auto Pupillary Distance (PD) Measurement

From daily specs to high-end designer sunglasses, the technology to try-ons glasses online was built to incorporate all product offerings. If the digitalized SKUs are working smoothly, it can significantly decrease the unnecessary steps when users just want to change a pair to try or adjust the frame depth.

Automatically Detect Pupillary Distance

One of the most common barriers to virtually trying on glasses is that users usually don’t know their pupillary distance (PD), but without the correct info of an individual's PD, the virtual try on session would be less actual as it should be. Pupillary distance, which is referred to as PD in the eyewear industry, refers to the distance between two pupils and is a key piece of information when virtually trying on glasses.
