Products

TryLive: The first of its kind "virtual dressing room" is a revolutionary e-commerce and marketing tool created by Total Immersion. TryLive is a multifaceted Augmented Reality solution created for apparel companies to offer their products to "try-on" virtually through digitally integrated software. This breakthrough consists of multiple aspects to virtually demonstrate how a product looks and moves on without it physically present. By simply presenting oneself in front of a "web camera", whether on a computer, a tablet, a digital screen, or even a smart phone the screen will presents an image of the user "wearing" the product in real time. The TryLive application has been tailored to virtually project glasses (fashion and prescription frames), shoes, watches, jewelry, furniture, headphones, and all types of clothes.[9]

D’Fusion: The platform used to create personalized Augmented Reality commercial solutions is the D’Fusion Suite established by Total Immersion. It is a multifaceted platform available to design Augmented Reality projects for mobile, web based and professional applications such as industrial, on-stage events and public presentations. The design tool called D’Fusion Studio is offered on their website as a free download to promote the creation of Augmented Reality experiences.[10]
