Snapchat has introduced a sports-themed augmented reality (AR) Locker Room at Selfridges’ flagship Oxford Street, London store.
This interactive pop-up, available throughout July and August, offers visitors an immersive AR Mirror experience. The digital experience allows consumers to virtually try on their favorite sports kits and experiment with various AR lenses. The AR Locker Room is designed to provide a unique and engaging shopping experience that combines fashion, technology, and sports.
In addition to trying on top brands' sports apparel, visitors can see themselves in a custom Team Selfridges Sportopia football kit. A convenient QR code allows shoppers to save their favorite looks and share them with friends and family, making the experience fun and shareable.
“Sports fans are no longer just the people flooding the stadiums - there’s a much larger digital audience, and new tech like AR is continually changing the way people engage with sport," said Kate Bird, Snapchat's Senior Marketing Director of EMEA.
