Sapphire AR

Project details

Sapphire AR is the world’s first Augmented Reality app for Eastern wear, revolutionizing the way users shop for fashion. The app allows customers to explore the latest collection in stunning 3D, enabling them to view each dress up close and from any angle with a 360-degree visualization feature. Once a user finds the perfect outfit, they can place an order instantly within the app. Even non-AR-compatible devices are supported, as the app dynamically downloads 3D models of dresses in real time from the server. With a library of over 350 photogrammetry-scanned dresses, Sapphire AR enhances the shopping experience like never before, offering 360-degree videos and interactive 3D previews of garments.

To streamline content updates, a backend system was developed, allowing dynamic content updates via a CDN. This enabled the client to upload new photogrammetry models through a web-based platform, eliminating the need for developer intervention for updates. The system automatically fetches changes when users browse the collection, and when they click on a model, it downloads and places it into the AR environment.
