The project focuses on public spaces near Chanel boutiques. Customers will point their smartphones at specific locations. Then they will see digital Chanel items appear in the real world through their screens. This lets people try products virtually before buying.
Sony provides the technology enabling this outdoor AR. Their sensors track locations precisely. This ensures the digital objects appear stable and realistic. Chanel designs the virtual experiences. These include previews of new collections and exclusive digital content.
The goal is to enhance customer engagement in a novel way. Shoppers interact with Chanel products outside the store. This offers a fun and convenient experience. It blends the physical and digital worlds smoothly.
Initial tests will happen in key cities later this year. Paris and Tokyo are the first locations planned. Shoppers in these areas can try the AR features soon. The companies see this as the future of luxury retail marketing.
