Augmented Reality at Sideshow
At Sideshow, where the extraordinary is the standard, we're thrilled to introduce an innovative way to bring our remarkable collectibles into your space before you make them a permanent addition to your collection. Our Augmented Reality (AR) feature on select product pages is designed to elevate your shopping experience to an unparalleled level. Here's how you can dive into this immersive feature, exclusively available on mobile devices equipped with AR technology.
How to Access AR Features on Sideshow.com
1. Eligibility and Availability: The AR visualization option is currently offered on select Sideshow products. To discover if a product is AR-compatible, look for the 'View in Room' button, conveniently located directly below the first image in the gallery display on the product page.
2. Initiating the AR Experience: Tap the 'View in Room' button to embark on an augmented journey. This action will prompt your device to launch an AR experience utilizing your camera, allowing you to place the item virtually in your environment. It's like having the collectible in your room, just through the screen!
3. Understanding the True Scale: The default placement of the item in AR mode represents its true scale, providing you with a realistic sense of the product's size and scale in relation to your own space. It's a fantastic way to ensure the perfect fit for your display area.
4. Visual Fidelity: While the AR-rendered product offers a glimpse into the physical presence of the collectible, please note that the details may not be as fine as the final product. The AR feature is designed to give you an approximation of size and scale, ensuring you're delighted with your purchase when it arrives in all its detailed glory.
5. Maintaining Accurate Proportions: Care should be taken not to accidentally adjust the size of the product in the AR view. Most devices will display an indicator if the item is being shown at 100% scale, helping you maintain the integrity of the true-to-life sizing.
Tips for a Seamless AR Experience
· Ensure Your Device is Compatible: Before getting started, confirm that your mobile device supports AR technology. This feature is designed for a seamless experience on modern smartphones and tablets with AR capabilities.
· Optimize Your Environment: For the best AR experience, use the feature in a well-lit room with enough space to fully visualize the collectible. This ensures your device's camera can accurately place the item in your environment.
