Product platform Gadget Flow recently introduced an all-new feature called Gadget Flow AR, which makes it possible for products for purchase to be previewed in augmented reality.
The update from Gadget Flow is powered by Apple's ARKit for iOS 11 and SLAM technology, which allows users to see a product's dimensions, handling, features, zoom and even interact with it before deciding to make a purchase. Although some web stores provide 3D product renderings, Gadget Flow AR paints a more realistic picture of a product.
As Gadget Flow operates as a marketplace with products from Indiegogo, Etsy, Kickstarter, Amazon and more, it offers users an unparalleled way to shop for everything from baking supplies to camping gear and the latest pieces of technology.
