The Future of Retail

Shoppers Drug Mart

We worked with Shoppers Drugmart to re-imagine the retail shopping experience of the future using WebAR technology to bring their products to life.

Experimenting with WebAR

PATIO was tasked to implement the web-based technology to dynamically showcase the products in a simple, accessible and immersive way. We used a react, three.js and ar.js framework to create an accessible web app solution.

This meant that any visitor with a smartphone could access the experience via visiting a simple website URL.

They would then be able to point and scan the object marker to create a 3D overlay they can then manipulate, inspect, and learn more about without the commitment of downloading any apps.

An App-Free Solution

Now, through a website browser, customers of the future can view a 3D replica of the product in their space to get a sense size, scale, and the form factor of a product outside of the packaging. They were also able to engage and manipulate the product dynamically and learn more about it before making the decision to buy.
