Communicating complexity
Eyewear decisions take more than static images. The ARShades 3D Viewer turns digital products into interactive, explorable objects for presenting, explaining and validating eyewear in real workflows.
- Digital catalogues
- Sales meetings and product presentations
- Internal reviews and stakeholder alignment
Enterprise-grade features, built for eyewear
A complete, well-defined feature set for presenting eyewear products with clarity, control and impact.
True-scale 3D rendering for accurate proportions
The model renders in real time at real-world scale, with catalogue-grade quality: correct proportions for validation and merchandising.
Advanced animation system
Explode, assemble and focus on components, plus guided views for demos and storytelling — where the 3D asset is set up for it.
Advanced control of materials, colours and finishes
PBR materials for acetates, metals and clear lenses, with physically accurate reflections.
Variant and configuration management across SKUs
One or more variants of the same product: choose the colourway and the model while exploring (configurable).
Interactive hotspots and product annotations
Interactive points that open in-depth notes on hinges, lenses, logos and construction details (configurable).
Controlled lighting, environment and camera set-up
HDRI lighting, realistic shadows and per-brand tone mapping: the render matches the brand's product photography.
Cross-device optimisation (desktop, tablet, mobile)
Camera framing and controls (FOV) tuned for desktop, tablet and mobile, with no loss of quality.
Interactive exploration and reflective floor
Rotate the model and look at it from every side, with auto-rotation that invites interaction. A reflective floor gives a more premium presentation (configurable).
Designed to fit your product story
The 3D Viewer supports multiple colourways, components and product versions in a single experience. Animations and interactions can be customised to guide attention, explain the construction or support sales storytelling — without opening it up to uncontrolled editing.
Photorealistic visuals, enterprise performance
The ARShades 3D Viewer balances realism and performance: smooth interaction and fast loading, ideal for websites, digital catalogues and online shops where reliability is critical.

FAQ
Yes, in all of them: Smart and Enterprise. You can use it inside the try-on, on its own across product pages, catalogues and showrooms, or both. If 3D is all you need, choose the Smart plan and use only the 3D views.
No: the models are optimised for real-time rendering, with caching and progressive loading. Smoothness depends on the asset, the device and the connection, but the experience is designed to stay responsive on web and mobile.
Not always: it depends on the device, browser, operating system, asset and configuration. Where it isn't available, the experience stays in standard 3D or moves to a compatible phone via a QR code.
Product pages, digital catalogues, landing pages, showrooms or retail, via a link, QR code, iframe embed, the Shopify plugin or code-based integration.
3D assets are the foundation of the experience. If you don't have them, ARShades can create or optimise them through its dedicated SKU digitisation service.
Yes: per-brand tone mapping matches the render to your product photography and, with Enterprise, the scene branding is bespoke. Layouts and configurations adapt to the channel and the project.
