Cartier - The Looking Glass
An in-store device capable of rendering jewelry on customers’ hands in high resolution. It fits neatly on a desk and requires a lamp-like camera, an iPad, and a desktop computer to function, according to Wired magazine. The customer wears a black band on the chosen finger to serve as a motion-capture device. The software then superimposes a ring over the band and displays the results on the iPad.
Elevating the Jewelry Shopping Experience: The Cartier AR Software Collaboration
At the intersection of technology and luxury, Cartier sought to redefine the jewelry shopping experience. To achieve this vision, Cartier joined forces with Blue Trail Software to craft an innovative AR (Augmented Reality) software application that would bring the sparkle of their exquisite pieces to life.
The Challenge: Bridging Reality and Imagination
Cartier, renowned for its timeless elegance, aimed to bridge the gap between the tangible allure of their jewelry pieces and the imaginative desire of their customers. The challenge was to allow shoppers in Cartier boutiques to virtually try on jewelry items, creating an immersive and personalized shopping journey.
The Solution: Augmented Reality Magic
Blue Trail Software, with its expertise in cutting-edge technology, embarked on a journey to turn this vision into reality. The team worked tirelessly to design and develop an AR software application that would seamlessly integrate with Cartier's in-store experience.

Key Features of the AR Application:
Virtual Try-On: Customers could use the application to "try on" Cartier jewelry virtually, seeing how each piece adorned them in real-time through their smartphone or tablet.
High-Fidelity Visuals: The application rendered Cartier's jewelry pieces with remarkable precision, capturing every facet, shimmer, and detail to provide an authentic experience.
Personalized Recommendations: Integrated algorithms suggested jewelry items based on individual preferences and styles, enhancing the personal touch in the shopping experience.
In-Store Integration: The AR application seamlessly integrated with Cartier's boutiques, enabling customers to explore the full collection in-store while virtually trying on pieces of their choice.
The Result: A Seamless Fusion of Tradition and Technology
The collaboration between Cartier and Blue Trail Software yielded a groundbreaking AR software application. It transformed the jewelry shopping experience, allowing customers to see themselves adorned in Cartier's finest creations before making a choice. It was a testament to Cartier's commitment to innovation and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
Today, as shoppers step into Cartier boutiques, they embark on a journey where tradition meets technology. With the AR application, they can explore the timeless beauty of Cartier jewelry in an entirely new light, creating memories that are as unforgettable as the pieces themselves.
This project exemplifies how innovation can elevate the retail experience, harmonizing luxury, and technology to create something truly extraordinary.
