Earlier this year, Trillion, the first augmented reality-powered mobile app designed to let users "try on" jewelry, launched on Google Play and the Apple Store. The new app allows users to pick a piece of jewelry from a large gallery of items and try it on by pointing their phone cameras at a specific body part.
Unlike other AR-enabled try-on apps, Trillion claims that its tool offers users an “instant effect that is accurate and true to life.” In fact, the technology utilized by the app is able to track a user's body features in real-time, automatically adjusting its AR overlays to sync with their movements and camera angles.
Moving forward, the company plans to collaborate with various jewelry brands to help them increase customer engagement by offering their shoppers unique try-on expereinces.
