We have not travelled very far since Augmented Reality started operating in smartphones as filters and 3D objects. Mixed reality is a new step in the VR landscape that can be put across various applications. Kindly explain the ways in which WowExp is bringing in AI and Mixed Reality together?
With WoWavatar app, anyone can create their own 3D avatar in front of them. Additionally, customers can try new clothes and see 3D view of their avatar in those clothes. AI can power speech and gesture recognition capabilities to the app. AI can give realism to 3D

content in mixed reality. It can dramatically improve customer experience in ecommerce and retail space. We target to double the conversion rate for ecommerce customers and also to reduce the return rate. Furthermore, our over whelming ecommerce experience would gain attention of customers from other websites.

WoWavatar has been getting huge recognition for its personalized 3D avatar and Virtual Try-on. It is a revolutionary app for many reasons. In the past, none has seen a full body 3D avatar in any app. We have been getting great responses from celebrities on Instagram and TikTok when they share it with their followers. This has helped us gain popularity on LinkedIn, YouTube and Instagram. We target to achieve 25,000 downloads and a couple of million views within a month.

Key innovations in the ecommerce space have earned notable benefits for retail industries. In the long run, proliferation of AI in ecommerce will certainly explore new paradigms of customer experiences. What future have you planned for WoWExp in the AI backed ecommerce sector?
We want to take e-shopping experience to the next level. AR based e-shopping would be the new normal of ecommerce and retail. Customers can see themselves while trying new clothes in various environments such as Dubai Mall and Miami Beach. We can offer VR store where people can come and buy directly. Moreover, exciting face filters are also offered to customers to stay engaged.
