What We're Seeing
Today, many brands reserve any 3D or AR for a few hero products because the pipeline is too costly. Right now, department stores product pages still lean on flat photos and a size chart. A clear signal is emerging: live, in-browser virtual try-on is moving from nice-to-have to expectation.
The Context

The Mirari Approach
Mirari pairs a believable try-on with a design studio, so the same tool that shoppers try on in is the one your team designs in. Rather than another flat gallery, Mirari puts the garment on the shopper’s own body, live, with their real arms and hair in front of the cloth. Because perception and rendering run in the browser, the experience feels instant — and it costs nothing in cloud GPU. Mirari tackles this with Live recolor & retexture: Recolor and re-fabric a garment live in the browser instead of commissioning a new photoshoot, then push it straight to the try-on catalog.
The Outcome
The numbers follow the confidence: higher add-to-cart, fewer bracketed orders, and drops that land. For department stores, that means conversion lifts the whole team can rely on. Shoppers get a believable look at the fit; the brand gets fewer returns and more confident checkouts. The result is conversion lifts, without a render farm or a per-session GPU bill.
