We have worked hard to establish ourselves in three main categories: jewelry & watches, handbags & luggage, and furniture & home decor. We offer industry-proven solutions that bridge the gap between online shopping and in-store experiences.
However, clients and prospects often ask why we haven’t expanded to apparel and shoes.
For all of our categories, we do extensive research before pursuing and developing solutions. We pride ourselves on creating immersive and realistic online shopping experiences, and not every category is a perfect fit.
One of our “unfair advantages” is the fact that we are able to support processing for 4K SKUs/day. This allows us to implement and scale quickly on retailers' websites, using their existing 2D images.
We must be able to meet these standards whenever we take on a new category. As a team, we have done excessive research in the apparel and shoe space to determine if Tangiblee should expand. We have determined that delivering a high-quality experience in these categories — superior to the unrealistic experiences currently on the market — would require significant R&D resources that might detract from our current areas of focus. While Tangiblee plans to launch new categories in the future, we will never sacrifice quality and best-in-breed technology by prematurely rushing into new categories where we wouldn’t be able to produce our best results.
Other companies attempted to launch solutions in this space, but they weren’t all successful. Amazon has recently released its Virtual Try-On for Shoes experience.
This experience allows Amazon shoppers to virtually try-on various shoes before purchasing. There are a limited number of shoes available within the experience for online shoppers.
I tried out the experience to determine the validity.
I tried on both a pair of UGG boots and a pair of New Balance sneakers. When I opened the virtual try-on solution it asked me to position my feet in the frame and point my toes. The shoes were quickly placed on my feet and I was amazed.
Amazed at how HUGE it made my feet look.
I thought that maybe it was just because these were larger shoes, so I tried on a pair of sneakers.
I still felt that these shoes weren’t realistically showing my shoe size in both length and width. My ankles were being cut off and not aligning properly with the shoe. If anything, I felt as though the experience made me more nervous to purchase the shoes than if I had just looked at the product images.
This experience is exactly why Tangiblee has decided to not rush into this landscape until we are able to create a realistic experience. To learn more about the solutions that Tangiblee provides visit our website.

Chicago, IL - May 3, 2023
Tangiblee, the world’s most scalable immersive shopping experience provider, unveils new client implementations and product features at the upcoming Shoptalk in Barcelona, May 9-11. Since its inception, Tangiblee has gained significant traction among global brands, including the addition of top names in European fashion, such as Lucardi (The Netherlands), MCMWorldwide (Germany), and F. Hinds (UK), to name just a few.
With the retail XR (Extended Reality) market in Europe expected to grow by 25.8% by 2028, clients are motivated by economic advantage plus Tangiblee’s key differentiators, including deployment speed and scalability. Those who have already launched their immersive experiences enjoy proven financial results. Rather than ethereal ideas and futuristic ideas of the metaverse, Tangiblee takes a practical view of AR and immersive technologies. This approach leads to improved e-commerce conversion rates and profit, as expressed by clients in their own words through the company’s case studies:
“When you see numbers like that, it’s a no brainer.”
Elles van Leeuwen, Lucardi’s e-commerce manager.
“For a specific item that used to have a 40% return rate, now we’re looking at a 20% return rate. Wow!”
Jordan Katz, VP, E-commerce, The Sak
"We saw a clear positive revenue impact from adding the Tangiblee tool."
Matt Kirton - Product Owner, Fashionette
At Shoptalk Europe, in addition to showcasing clients’ immersive experiences, Tangiblee will be offering an exclusive preview of its latest technologies, the result of years of R&D and currently unmatched in the industry: These include ring and earring collections, VTO Clip (Jewelry), new size comparison options including “What Fits Inside?” (Handbags), and Virtual Room Design (Home Decor).
“Even in the current volatile business climate, we see a strong demand for our immersive shopping and virtual try-on solutions,” says Eliad Inbar, Tangiblee CEO. “This is a testament to our approach, which focuses on usability and business results over bells and whistles.”
To help retailers boost revenue, Tangiblee offers new integration options for e-commerce sites, such as “Embed” and “PLP Filtering”. “Embed” provides more flexible options for enterprise retailers to incorporate Tangiblee’s immersive experiences, reducing the number of clicks to purchase. “PLP filtering” integrates with existing e-commerce site capabilities including recommendation engines.

Chicago, IL - March 22, 2023
Tangiblee, the world’s most scalable immersive shopping experience provider, showcases its next generation of Virtual Try-On (VTO) and AR technology at Shoptalk US (March 26-29). Tangiblee launched its first immersive shopping solution back in 2014, so it’s already a veteran in the AR-powered e-commerce space. Nearly a decade later, the company continues to innovate and deliver proven financial results to hundreds of well-known brands and retailers (including Citizen, Lucardi, Victorinox, and Home24, to name a few).
While new entrants begin to emerge on the AR scene, Tangiblee has already expanded its popular platform capabilities and delivered consistent results for retailers year-over-year. At Shoptalk next week, the company will be offering an exclusive preview of its latest features, the result of years of R&D and currently unmatched in the industry: These include ring and earring collections, VTO Clip (Jewelry), new size comparison options including “What Fits Inside?” (Handbags), and Virtual Room Design (Home Decor).
In addition to technology enhancements across categories, the company will unveil flexible new integration options for retailer e-commerce sites, such as “Embed” and “PLP Filtering” — both designed to further boost conversions and profitability. “Embed” provides more flexible options for enterprise retailers to incorporate Tangiblee’s immersive experiences, reducing the number of clicks to purchase. “PLP filtering” integrates with existing e-commerce site capabilities including recommendation engines. Every platform enhancement offers the same scalability Tangiblee is known for — the ability to process and onboard a volume of more than 5,000 new SKUs a day.
“Even in the current volatile business climate, we see a strong demand for our immersive shopping and virtual try-on solutions,” says Eliad Inbar, Tangiblee CEO. “We now serve 4 out of 5 of the world’s top luxury jewelry retailers. This is a testament to our approach, which focuses on usability and business results over bells and whistles.”
Tangiblee’s retail clients enjoy a recession-proof option for increasing revenue while decreasing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). The company’s easy-to-deploy, no-code solution has helped many retailers deliver immersive online shopping experiences at a fraction of the cost and time of any other solutions providers.
