Virtual Try-On

Virtual try-on lets a customer point a phone camera at their own face, or at a room, and see the product in place before paying. Glasses sit on the nose and move when the head turns. A lipstick shade lands on the lips. A sofa stands on the living room floor at its real size. Nothing has been bought yet.

What it needs is more than most owners expect. Every product needs a three dimensional model, which is a digital copy built from measurements rather than from a photo. A studio photo will not do. Someone has to make that model for each frame, each shade and each sofa, and the bill arrives per product, not per shop. Ask for that number early. On a catalogue of two hundred items it decides the whole project.

The phone side is a separate job. The face has to be followed so the glasses stay put when the head turns. The room has to be read so the sofa does not sink into the floor. Colour is the hard one. A screen at full brightness in a dark bedroom shows a shade that will not be the shade in daylight, and that is why makeup returns fall less than shops hope. An honest seller says so on the screen.

It is not always worth the money. Skip it if your items are cheap, if they change every season, or if people already know their size. It pays for itself on things that cost a lot, are hard to picture at real size, and come back often. Glasses, sofas, kitchen units, wall paint. Before you sign anything, write down your return rate for this year. Linkysoft asks for that figure before quoting, because it is the honest way to tell some shops the feature is not for them.

It also belongs inside the shop's own app, not a separate download nobody keeps. When Linkysoft builds this, the camera work sits in the mobile app the shop already has, and the matching and the colour work run as part of an AI system behind it. Products and prices stay on one list, shared with the shop system the way Storek does it, so a frame that sells out disappears from the try-on the same minute.
