At its NYC flagship store, Ugg is using a Zero10 mirror to show off the features of its UggExtreme cold weather clothing and footwear collection. For a limited time, the augmented reality mirror offers visitors the chance to virtually preview the collection against a winter-inspired backdrop, and fantastical effects like a frost vortex or icicle wings.
Although shopping for winter apparel is an experience that many people dread, and the articles of clothing are usually first and foremost focused on warmth and functionality, this fun-focused experience brings a sense of freshness to the winter lifestyle product category—all the while helping people look and feel their best.
For those who can't make it to the flagship location, the augmented reality winter effects can also be viewed via the Zero10 mobile app for iOS.
