Choosing The Best Glasses Using Virtual Try-On Technology

Virtual Try-On eyewear is a useful and fun perk on MAGRABi’s website that helps enhance the customer's online shopping experience and allows them to try on glasses online from the comfort of their own home, all to find the perfect pair for their face or prescription.

What is Virtual-Try On?

Virtual Try-On (VTO) technology allows customers to see how virtual eyeglasses and sunglasses would look on them in real time using augmented reality (AR) or artificial intelligence (AI).

This technology works by using a camera to create a 3D simulation of the frames on the customer’s face; using facial mapping, AI algorithms, real-time face tracking, and precise frame positioning, the VTO technology ensures the glasses fit accurately, adjusting to different angles and lighting conditions.

The seamlessly smooth VTO process helps customers try on sunglasses online to, for example, test various styles and materials without visiting a store, which in turn boosts confidence in purchasing the glasses online and lowers return rates.

Tips for an Enhanced VTO Experience

When trying on your eyewear online, it’s always a good idea to use natural light and position yourself near a window or in a well-lit area where shadows and glares are minimal. If natural light isn’t available, opt for soft, diffused artificial lighting.

Understanding and identifying your face shape also helps you choose frame types and styles that complement your facial features. Make sure to sit or stand directly in front of the camera with your face evenly lit and clearly visible and maintain a neutral expression.

And finally, make sure to explore the variety of styles, materials, and colors offered at MAGRABi for comparison and compatibility with your skin tone and face shape to ensure you choose the perfect frame.

Benefits of Virtual Try-On

Aside from the convenience of getting to see how different frames and styles look on you before you make your purchase online from the comfort of your own home, VTO allows customers to visualize themselves wearing different eyeglasses and sunglasses online, which bridges the gap between the digital and physical realms and offers a more immersive and interactive way to shop.

This improves the customer’s trust in the brand and product, strengthens loyalty, and increases returns and overall dissatisfaction, offering you only the best in the world of eyewear.
