Smart As Apps GmbH operates glimpsey.io, a cloud platform that enhances online shops with photorealistic augmented reality experiences in just a few steps.
Core features & benefits
- Real-time visualization in 3D & augmented reality: Products can be rotated and placed in the real environment, which speeds up purchasing decisions and reduces returns.
- Web integration via iFrame: A single embed code integrates the Glimpsey viewer into any shop – without the need for a native app.
- Platform support: Works on all devices that support WebXR, including iOS & Android browsers and VR headsets such as Meta Quest 3.
- Unlimited products & variants, delivery via a global content delivery network and 100 GB of traffic per month included in the standard package.
- 4K models & animated assets ensure maximum detail while optimizing load times.
Technical architecture
Glimpsey provides a backend that manages product models in scalable object storage. This backend can therefore be used not only for e-commerce shops, but also as a foundation for future AR (augmented reality) applications, such as interactive in-store kiosks, trade show installations, or mobile AR games.
Package overview
The Standard subscription includes all core features, two one-hour setup sessions, and prioritized support. If required, the Service Bundle offers additional project management, 3D agency coordination, and individual consulting – ideal for retailers who want to outsource their entire 3D launch.
Benefits for retailers
- Higher conversion thanks to an emotional, interactive shopping experience.
- Significantly fewer returns because size, color, and fit can be checked in advance.
- Stronger brand presence thanks to innovative technology and a fully customizable viewer that can be branded to your corporate design using CSS.
With glimpsey.io, Smart As Apps GmbH demonstrates how scalable AR backends can be implemented with minimal integration effort – today for online shops and tomorrow for any type of augmented reality project.
