Spatial Commerce: New AR and 3D features
Spatial Commerce Banner
Spatial Commerce is an emerging topic that is gaining more and more importance. Embrace the future with the latest Shopware updates, bringing 3D functionalities to your digital storefront.
Merchants can now upload 3D files in GLB format and assign them to their products. These 3D visuals come to life on your product detail pages, ready for augmented reality (AR) experiences. Imagine this: Your customers can virtually place products, like furniture, in their own space, transforming how they interact and connect with your offerings.
Perfect for mobile-savvy users, this feature shines on devices with cameras. Desktop shoppers aren’t left out either - they can effortlessly switch to a mobile view by scanning a QR code, unlocking the 3D experience right on their smartphones or tablets.
