Herschel Supply Partners With Vertebrae to Deliver Web-Based 3D and Augmented Reality (AR) Shopping Experiences Across Touchpoints

SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 1, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Vertebrae, a technology innovator in interactive 3D and AR commerce solutions, today announced a new partnership with Herschel Supply to deliver immersive shopping experiences that drive rich digital engagement while boosting consideration and conversion. Powered by Vertebrae, Herschel Supply now offers 3D and AR-enabled visualizations of its top-selling backpacks, bags and travel goods directly on product pages, allowing online shoppers to view the items and their features from multiple angles via 3D and size them in context with AR -- no app required.

"Herschel Supply's new 3D & AR features embody the cutting edge and effortlessly cool nature of their products - which are thoughtfully designed with details that demonstrate a commitment to functionality and style," said Vince Cacace, CEO of Vertebrae. "3D and AR shopping experiences showcase those important details across devices and browsers, enabling shoppers to explore and compare the products in real-life context -- eliminating guesswork and building value for the brand. We are thrilled Herschel selected us as their exclusive technology partner to enable 3D and AR shopping just in time for their critical back-to-school season."

Using the Vertebrae Axis platform, shoppers visiting Herschel Supply's top product pages immediately view a 3D-enabled image flagged with an icon and a "drag to rotate" overlay prompt -- giving them direct access to 3D interactivity for product exploration from every angle. They can rotate, zoom in, and flip images to assess colors and materials and view positions of pockets, zips, and fasteners, all within the context of the product page. A 'view 3D & AR' button at the bottom of the image connects to AR capabilities that enable shoppers to use their cell phone cameras to view life-sized images of backpacks and bags in their real-world environments, giving them an accurate understanding of product dimensions and a true sense of what owning the accessory would feel like.

"We pride ourselves on a fine regard for detail combined with modern functionality," said Justin Bones, SVP, Direct to Consumer at Herschel Supply. "With Vertebrae, we're able to showcase our products through the highest quality AR and 3D assets that we're proudly featuring front and center on product pages. The transition to 3D image manipulation and AR capabilities is instantaneous, without needing an app download, and shoppers never lose track of their place on the path to purchase."
