What is Hand Tracking Technology
When it comes to hand tracking, the first thing that comes to mind might be the fact that it is often used in the VR gaming industry. This is because hand tracking technology allows users to be able to move their real and virtual hands in sync to create a more enjoyable experience.
But, hand tracking technology can do more than that, and it is not a complicated concept at all. Hand tracking technology simply means to detect human hands & fingers and track their movements.
Perfect Corp.'s hand tracking technology is trained on real hand models with a complete array of gestures, skin tones, and textures, as well as hand and finger sizes. With the help of hand tracking technology, brands will be able to help customers visualize wearing rings, bracelets, earrings, and watches on themselves, thus providing not only an ultra-realistic virtual try on experience but also a more immersive virtual shopping experience for customers.
How is AR Revolutionizing the Jewelry Industry
The retail industry is experiencing a digital transformation, and over the past several years, AR technology has become essential to engage customers. AR tools such as virtual try-on are quickly revolutionizing the jewelry space, allowing customers to digitally try-on rings, bracelets, earrings and more before committing to a purchase.
This technology has supercharged customer engagement for fine jewelry brands, and allowed brands to bring jewelry items to life in new and exciting ways.
Virtual try-on technology has also proven to be one of the most effective tools for increasing sales conversion, as it can help customers feel more confident in their purchasing decisions when investing in a new piece of jewelry.
When choosing a technology partner for implementing jewelry virtual try-on, there are a few key aspects to consider to ensure the most realistic VTO experience.
Read on to learn more about the most important features of AR virtual try-on for jewelry and how to choose the best solution.
How Hand Tracking Technology is Just Like Wearing Real Jewelry
When implementing an AR virtual try-on solution for jewelry, it is important to create a hyper-realistic experience with hand tracking technology that mirrors a physical in-store try-on.
One of the best ways to do this is by implementing hand tracking technology that allows the customer to move their hand and see how the jewelry looks from different angles and positions.
It is also important to implement hand tracking technology that clearly showcases the details of the jewelry, such as shine and reflection.
Perfect Corp.’s virtual try-on solution for jewelry features the innovative AgileHandTM technology, which provides the most advanced jewelry virtual try-on capabilities available today.
Perfect Corp.’s AgileHandTM Technology is powered by state-of-the-art AI algorithms and is trained on 3D hand models.
The models include a wide array of skin tones and textures, as well as hand and finger sizes, encompassing an inclusive range of personal hand differentiators and traits.
The hand tracking technology ensures a hyper-realistic virtual try-on experience for bracelets, watches and rings. Additionally, Perfect Corp.’s advanced AI Face Tracking ensures realistic earring simulations and movements.
Perfect Corp,’s virtual try-on technology for jewelry also supports ambient lighting simulations, realistic material reflections, advanced light scattering and detailed surface textures to ensure that jewelry appears just as luxurious as it would in physical reality.
These features ensure that the customer can not only virtually try-on the jewelry, they can also move their hand and body as they view the item, see the item from various angles as they move, and see a realistic representation of the jewelry’s detail, such as shine, brightness and finish.
Other jewelry virtual try-on technology providers do not realistically show the detail of the jewelry items or allow for realistic movement during the virtual try-on experience.
Live Camera View Capabilities for Instant Virtual Try-On Experiences
When implementing technology for a realistic virtual try-on, one of the most important components of the experience is a live-camera view.
With a live-camera view, the customer can see the virtual rendering of the jewelry item in real-time, moving and experiencing the item from different angles as it would appear when worn.
This increases customer engagement and helps foster a more personalized shopping experience. Perfect Corp.’s virtual try-on solution for jewelry offers an advanced live-camera view that allows customers to clearly visualize jewelry items.
Many AR jewelry virtual try-on solution providers offer only a static view of the jewelry item in virtual try-on.
Without a clear live camera simulation, the customer is not able to experience a realistic view of the jewelry item or get a clear view of how the item will look when worn.
With other providers, the live-camera view can often be shaky and unreliable. It does not accurately depict how the jewelry item would look when viewed from different angles or with movement.
