About the project

Saks shoppers could use smartglasses or phones to view virtual clothing on a rack in-store or at home, select items to buy, receive recommendations about related clothing or accessories and access relevant information about merchandise.

The app created a frictionless shopping experience that improved buyer confidence, increased spending per-visit, and reduced returned merchandise.
