Walmart is adding several new features to the augmented reality (AR) offering on its consumer app.
In an email to Chain Store Age, the discount giant explained how it is building on the functionality of “View in Your Home,” an AR-enabled capability it initially launched on its iOS app in July 2022. View in Your Home enables shoppers to view furniture and home décor items in their personal spaces with a few swipes on their phones.
To gain access to the feature, customers click the “View in your space” banner on AR-enabled items when shopping in the Walmart app, and they will then be walked through how to connect to their camera and see the item in their own space.
