In episode 133 of the Customers Who Click podcast I discuss all things AR with Rich Watson, founder of Augmented Hype.
After clarifying the difference between VR, AR and mixed reality, we delve into some real-life examples of how companies have increased AOV and conversion rates with AR, and, on top of that, reduced the return rate.
A lot of that is to do with reducing customer anxiety around knowing what they’re going to get and if it’s going to suit them.
