How to Try On Virtual Eyeglasses Online

The concept of a virtual eyeglasses try-on is not new. The experience of trying on a product in a fully virtual setting has become an integral part of a shopping journey for consumers worldwide. 

There are only 2 steps to virtually try on glasses or sunglasses online:

  • Step 1: Go to Demo Store and Enable a Camera
  • Step 2: See How the Glasses Look On You

Step 1: Enable a Camera

Shoppers use any device that is equipped with a camera (such as a laptop or smartphone). After enabling the camera, the user's pupillary distance (PD) will be automatically detected and displayed in 2 seconds.

Step 2: See How the Glasses Look On You!


Once the pupillary distance (PD) is detected, the user may accurately try on hundreds of products with no constraints. You may also try on different virtual glasses, and adjust the frames, tints, and lenses during the virtual eyeglasses try-on process.

Tips of Virtual Glasses or Sunglasses Try On

During the try-ons sessions, you can choose different frame colors or different frame sizes, or adjust the frame positions/depth to see which one suits you the most. Or, choosing different tints colors is also available. 

Virtual Try On with Photos

Our virtual eyeglasses try on technology is the perfect solution for businesses in the optical industry. With our virtual try on technology, customers can take a photo of themselves and then see how different glasses look on them.

Key Takeaway:

Seamless Virtual Try-On for Different Face Shapes

Different face shapes require different eyeglasses styles, and it can be tough to know what will look good on you without trying them on. That's where virtual try-on comes in! With this technology, the customers can see how different frames look on their own face before buying them.


Customer's Dilemma: Always Guessing Which Glasses Suit Them

Diamond, Oval, Heart and More

For example, customers often wonder which types of frames or styles suit different face shapes. Normally, the internet suggests as follows: If you have a diamond face shape, you should look for eyeglasses that are wider than your face. This will help to balance out your features. Oval face shapes can wear just about any style of glasses, so you just need to make sure to avoid frames that are too small, as they can look out of proportion. But how narrow is the size should they avoid? 

With virtual try on, customers are able to precisely see which size of glasses, how much is the frame depth, and what percentages of the tints etc. suit them the most.

AI Pupillary Distance Auto Detection

The Most Advanced Virtual Eyeglasses Try On Solution

What sets Perfect Corp.’s virtual try-on technology for glasses apart as the most advanced and realistic eyewear virtual try-on available on the market today is AI-Powered Pupillary Distance Auto-Detection. 


What Is Pupillary Distance (PD)

Pupillary distance, which is referred to as PD in the eyewear industry, refers to the distance between two pupils. With Perfect Corp.’s technology,  the virtual try-on experience automatically detects the user’s PD to ensure that virtual glasses are precisely sized and fitted to the user’s face as they would appear in real life. Essentially, this technology can visualize the actual size and aspect ratio of glasses on a user’s face and emulate the eyewear’s actual size, fit and scale virtually



▲By only enabling camera, the customer's PD will be automatically detected and displayed, to ensure the most accurate virtual try-ons experience.

This technology is a groundbreaking innovation in the eyewear virtual try-on space as it allows PD to be detected instantly and automatically. With other less advanced technologies, a customer would need to physically measure their PD and enter their PD before accessing the virtual try-on experience. This automatic PD detection, powered by advanced AI technologies, enables a more seamless and realistic user experience that empowers customers to find their perfect fit.
