Looking towards the future of fashion with LODE
The fashion industry is constantly evolving, and how we shop for clothes is no exception. In recent years, we’ve seen a rise in e-commerce, and now we’re on the cusp of a new era: immersive shopping.
LODE is an AR fashion platform that empowers brands to seamlessly launch virtual boutique experiences and reach next-gen consumers.
With LODE, brands can create bespoke virtual boutiques where customers can explore, try on, and style their favorite items, all in augmented reality. They can even buy directly on the app or be redirected to the brand’s website.
Why is immersive shopping the future of fashion?
Immersive shopping offers a number of advantages over traditional e-commerce. First, it’s more engaging. AR product experiences are 200% more engaging than traditional product images, and 51% of consumers prefer shopping in AR.
Second, immersive shopping can lead to higher conversion rates. A study by Deloitte found that AR product experiences can increase conversion rates by 65%.
Finally, immersive shopping can help brands to future-proof themselves. The next generation of consumers is growing up with technology, and they expect more from the shopping experience. Immersive shopping can help brands to stand out in a crowded market and capture the attention of next-gen consumers.
How does LODE work?
The platform offers a variety of features to help brands create and launch successful virtual boutiques:
- Brands can choose from bespoke virtual boutiques: the virtual boutiques are designed to be unique and visually appealing, reflecting the brand’s identity.

- Style products from brands in AR: Customers can virtually try on and mix and match products to create their own unique looks.
