A unique solutioning approach to start with

We devised a personalized digital footprint solution in the shoe fitting platform that already existed for the client. The solution was designed to revolutionize the way customers find and try on shoes.

Leveraging 3D visualization and AI algorithms to capture accurate digital foot size measurements

Delivering personalized shoe fitting recommendations considering various size and styles

User-friendly web and mobile application to access the platform anywhere

AR enabled virtual try on enhancing the interactive shopping experience

We enabled the client’s platform with a solution that integrated 3D visualization technology with artificial intelligence. Users can access the application through their smartphones or web browsers, making it easily accessible for the wider audience. The algorithm analyses images captured by the user simply by capturing a picture. The platform then creates a digital footprint of the user. Leveraging 3D visualization, the platform can accurately assess the dimensions of user’s feet, including length, width and arch support.
Using the digital foot size measurements and the digital footprints generated, the platform delivers highly accurate shoe recommendations. The platform takes into considerations various factors such as brand-specific size variations and shoe styles suitable for different foot shapes.

To further enhance the virtual shopping experience, the solution that we devised integrates Augmented Reality (AR) to make it easy for customers to try on different shoe styles virtually without making in-person visits. This not only aids in making informed purchase decisions but makes the shopping process more interactive and fun
The solution that we developed reduces the likelihood of product returns and accelerates the footwear trail process.
