1. Warby Parker: Virtual Try-Ons That Bring the Personal Touch

‍

Warby Parker invites us to rethink the way we shop for eyewear. For those of us who know the struggle of trying on glasses while already wearing a pair, everything becomes a blur—literally. But with their innovative virtual try-on feature, you can now see how different frames will look on your face, all from the comfort of your home. While this example might not involve stepping into a fully immersive world, it makes a world of difference to those who need it.

‍

No more risking your relationship by wandering aimlessly through IKEA aisles. The IKEA Place app lets you visualise furniture in your own space using augmented reality, making it easier to imagine how it will actually look in your home. IKEA’s solution doesn’t just simplify the buying process; it also complements its robust delivery service. The only thing you might miss by not going to the store? Those famous hotdogs at the end.

Gucci has always been about more than just fashion; it’s about a lifestyle, a statement. Now, they’ve taken that philosophy into the digital realm, creating virtual stores that are more than just places to shop—they’re destinations. Imagine walking through a high-end boutique, surrounded by the latest collections, all from your computer or smartphone. No matter if you are not dressed for the occasion, you can always step into their virtual shops.

Gone are the days of spending hours at a dealership; now, you can explore Toyota’s latest models in their virtual showroom. These interactive environments allow you to walk around the vehicle, inspect features up close, and even customise colours and accessories in real-time. Toyota’s virtual showrooms offer a fully immersive experience that mirrors the excitement of seeing a car in person while also providing the convenience and personalisation that only the digital world can offer. And the best part? You don’t even need a car to get there.
