Traditionally, online shopping consists of browsing through pages and pages of different items, trying to find the right style, in the right size and for the right price. After waiting the long five to seven business days for your package to arrive, you tear the package open only to find that the hat you ordered makes your head look big. The whole process starts over again, but luckily for all of us, large headed individuals included, times and technology are changing. With sites like TheFind, users can search thousands of items from hundreds of retailers to find the perfect hat, cutting down time going from site to site. It also saves users money because it compiles all the best deals on one website. Similarly, Savor, which just launched on Android tablets this week, has deals and coupons tailored to your personal interests, which makes shopping for your favorite clothes even easier! But what if you could search all in one place, save money, and try on clothes before you bought them? JackThreads, which sells men’s clothing and accessories, is introducing a new type of online shopping. Teaming up with Google+ Hangouts, usually used for video chats, JackThreads has built a feature that gives users the ability to try on hats and sunglasses virtually. Facial recognition software is used to accurately place sunglasses on your eyes and hats on your head without much effort from the user. This advancement opens doors for many other commerce companies who want to enable users to try on clothes beforehand. Independent sites such as True Fit and Fits.me use your body’s measurements to show how certain clothes would fit, before you hand over your credit card. The benefits of this feature could include fewer costs in returned products and a higher customer satisfaction. Thus, profiting both the supplier and consumer.
