Whether or not augmented reality ever becomes as pervasive as Apple thinks it will, there’s no doubt that it can be a valuable tool for app developers. The key is to find a use case that actually makes sense, which is what Warby Parker has done with its latest update. In the newest version of its mobile app, Warby Parker has added a new feature called “Virtual Try-On,” which uses AR to overlay a pair of glasses on your face.
Warby Parker is perhaps best known for allowing customers to choose five frames, have them shipped to their home for free, and try them all out before making a purchase. While the virtual try-on feature might not be a true alternative, it could at least offer some guidance before the customer puts in a physical order.
