There are no second thoughts regarding how we are ruled by what we are able to see. Visual experiences guide every decision and judgment we make. In fact, statistics suggest that 90% of everything that we process is visual. Moreover, people tend to respond faster to visuals than text.

When any industry starts to take off, there will always be competitors who try to take their slice of the pie. When choosing any vendor for any purpose, work with vendors that offer a good reputation for quality, years of experience, and the promise of expanding the horizons of the industry itself. With the advent of 3D visualization, many players have arisen to offer product configuration, system visualization, and augmented reality.

Today, we’re helping inRiver roll out the world’s first PIM that can store and produce 3D and AR automatically across eCommerce, marketing, and more.

The fight for the customer’s attention has never been so competitive and the margin of error so slim. The chant may as well be shifting from “a picture is worth one thousand words,” to “a picture is worth one thousand impressions,” and those impressions are exceptionally valuable to eCommerce businesses and digital brands. Now, what if we can turn that picture in a fully configurable 3D visualization that customers can zoom in, zoom out, and even rotate 360 degrees? You can imagine the kind of impact it will have on customer retention, engagement, and eventually your bottom line.    

eCommerce for kitchen and bath products particularly shows a very small percentage of sales due to the lack of information a number of online retailers offer.

Therefore, they cannot finalize a purchase until and unless they see how it would appear in reality.

For many product salespeople, the pandemic has put a hard stop to on-site, face-to-face selling. Even as businesses begin to reopen and return to old processes, sales leaders should be aware of a powerful remote alternative that unlocks new selling opportunities: virtual sales through 3D content. A 3D product configurator equips salespeople with a powerful visualization tool that can often illustrate more than the actual product ever could.

When it comes to medicine — when it comes to saving lives — precision is vital. Knowing exactly what needs to happen and how it should happen makes the difference between patients lost and lives won. When it comes to purchasing medical equipment, knowing the cellular details about the product are necessary. Unfortunately, there are so many medical equipment providers that are not making use of modern technologies to present their equipment in an informative and highly detailed way.

3D and Augmented Reality (AR) appear to be shifting the advertising landscape already. Just how significantly will only become clear in the upcoming months and years, however huge businesses are already using it to great effect, understanding that now is the time to deploy this comparatively new technology to produce new experiences for customers.
