NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Gadget Flow,
the top new-products platform has launched Gadget Flow AR, the
augmented-reality feature that lets users see new products in 3D
prior to purchase. In combination with Apple's ARKit and Gadget
Flow's database of over 12,000 gadgets, tools, and crowdfunded
projects, iOS app users will have the option to see products in
augmented reality (AR). Gadget Flow AR features "SLAM" technology
that lets users move a product around in 3D to see dimensions,
handling, features, zoom and interact with it before
purchase.
Gadget Flow, founded in the depths of Greece's recession, now features over 12,000
products from Indiegogo, Etsy, Kickstarter, Amazon and hundreds of
other marketplaces and e-commerce websites. Headquartered in
New York, it is the leading
crowdfunding launch platform with over 6,000 clients, reaching 25
million people per month. Known for its experimentation with new
marketing technologies, Gadget Flow is the first platform to
introduce AR content for commercial products with the help of
Apple's ARKit. "Consistent with Gadget Flow's first-mover approach
to adopting new technologies to enhance our clients' sales, we're
the first major online marketplace to provide all of our products
in dynamic 3D," says Evan Varsamis,
co-founder and CEO of Gadget Flow.
Gadget Flow clients were optimistic about its tie-up with ARKit.
"This application is exactly why AR will become a huge part of our
lives; The Gadget Flow feature will allow people to directly see
and interact with the products on the platform, ultimately leading
to more informed buying decisions and happiness all around," says
Eddie Lee, President of Podo
Labs.
According to Saso Kasteli, CEO of Gadget Flow client Ironate,
"The Gadget Flow's new AR feature is really what the future holds
for online shopping. Great for both sellers and consumers, we at
Ironate are preparing the files to transfer our pizza-making gadget
to the AR world. You won't quite make a pizza in three minutes with
the new iOS app, but you will get the next best thing: In augmented
reality, seeing how the product looks in a realistic setting."
The Gadget Flow's AR release is available here. Gadget Flow
branded 3D scanning centers that allow clients to scan non-tech
products in order to display them in AR will be coming later this
year.
