How is a 3D model prepared for AR virtual try-on?

AR virtual try-on — placing furniture in your room, glasses on your face, shoes on your feet — needs the product to work as a real-time, lightweight, correctly scaled 3D model inside a web/mobile AR viewer. This calls for different preparation than a standard render model.

Technical requirements

What does an AR-ready model need?

Polygon and file budget

A low-poly, optimized model for smooth performance on mobile devices.

True real-world scale

Exact scaling so the object appears at true size in AR.

glTF / USDZ format

The standard formats for web AR and Apple AR Quick Look.

PBR materials

Physically based textures that look consistent under different lighting.

Which products is it suited to?

In product categories with strong "try before you buy" behavior — furniture, shoes, glasses, jewelry, cosmetics packaging, electronic accessories — AR virtual try-on visibly lifts conversion. For the general frame of our product modeling process see product rendering services.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can you convert our existing render model to AR?

Usually yes; but a render model is often high-poly, so it needs re-optimizing (retopology, texture compression) for AR.

Which platforms does it work on?

We prepare glTF/USDZ output for standards such as model-viewer on the web, Scene Viewer on Android and AR Quick Look on iOS.

Does the AR model look as good as the render?

Because it is optimized for mobile performance it is not as detailed as a cinematic render, but it targets a believable look under real-time lighting.

How does the AR virtual try-on model integrate with our existing e-commerce site?

The model is delivered in glTF/USDZ format, supported by most platforms; it can be added via Shopify AR Quick Look, a custom WebXR integration, or an AR plugin. We don't build the integration itself, but we optimize the format and file size so your developer can drop it in.
