The status quo asks shoppers to imagine the fit, which simply cannot keep pace with rising expectations. Today, many brands reserve any 3D or AR for a few hero products because the pipeline is too costly.

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.
