360 spin product photography is the closest we can get to “try before you buy” without—well, trying before you buy. Now, more than ever, potential customers are reluctant to leave their homes to inspect products before making an actual purchase. That means they’re looking to eCommerce to give them an up-close look.

In the world of eCommerce, the caliber of your product visuals can set your brand apart. Especially now that customers are largely unable to check out products up-close in a store or at a convention, they want high-quality, realistic representations of products before they make a purchase.

Working at a start-up is equal parts thrilling and challenging...and it's not for everyone. But for some, it is the perfect fit for their skills and ambitions. Find out if you have the entrepreneurial spirit. 

Whether we like it or not, the world of commerce is rapidly evolving. From the increased emphasis on e-commerce photography to the myriad ways to define “customer experience,” brands must stay informed and agile to keep up in the visual economy.

Through this strategic partnership, Magento Commerce merchants can now take full advantage of Threekit’s platform features, which include a 3D product configurator, interactive 3D, virtual product photography, and interactive product tours. Additionally, powerful augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality capabilities allow customers to preview their customizations before making purchases. By using the Threekit Platform and showing consumers exactly what they're buying, brands can see a 40 percent increase in online conversions and an 80 percent reduction in online returns.

 

  Threekit has joined the Khronos 3D Commerce Exploratory Group to help guide the future of 3D commerce. The purpose of the group is to establish standards and guidelines for the production and distribution of real-time 3D representations of products, so they can be experienced realistically and consistently across all platforms and devices. 

Interactive product experiences are increasingly becoming customer expectation in today's visual economy, but there are specific applications for each variety. A 3D product configurator is especially useful to show customization. So, what is a 3D configurator, and could it be right for your products?
