1.2 AR in Customer Service
Augmented reality is a technology that superimposes digital content onto the real world, enhancing the user's perceptionandinteractionwiththeirenvironment.Itcan be experienced through devices like smartphones, tablets, or special glasses, allowing users to see virtual objects and information as if they were part of their physicalsurroundings.
Incorporating augmented reality into customer experiencescancreateamoreimmersiveandinteractive environment, boosting engagement levels. It allows service teams to showcase products, services, or solutions in a visually appealing and memorable way, leavingalastingimpactoncustomer.Itcanenhanceuser experience by offering immersive experiences. Contrary to Virtual Reality, which electronically generates the complete real-life environment, AR overlays the viewer onto the electronically generated setting. Hence, AR provesmoreadvantageousthanVRforbothretailersand consumers, enabling consumers to virtually try on a variety of products without the need for physical fitting in a store. AR enhances consumers' product comprehension, offers the enjoyment of virtually trying on items, and saves time and transportation, potentially leading to widespread adoption in e-commerce. For consumers to experience immersion, the ability to interactively inspect vivid and realistic virtual product images from various three-dimensional perspectives is crucial.Awarenessofpotentialtechnologicalconstraints, such as low interactivity or low vividness, arises when using AR. Thus, the effectiveness of AR depends on its ability to deliver prompt responses and lifelike visualizations of virtual products. Virtual try-ons leverage AR for customers provide step-by-step visual guidance, simplifying tasks. Through AR-based applications or devices, agents can offer real-time guidance and demonstrations specific to the customer’s situation, delivering a more personalized and effective support experience. Incorporating AR into training programs can enhance knowledge retention and accelerate the onboarding process for service teams. By simulating real-life scenarios or providing interactive learningexperiences,ARenablesemployeestolearnand practice skills more effectively, leading to improved overallperformance
