Etsy has launched a new augmented reality visualisation feature to help users get a better idea of how items will look in their homes or offices.

With over five million items in the Art and Collectibles category on Etsy, the online marketplace wanted to give users a better way of visualising potential purchases, according to chief product officer Kruti Patel Goyal.

"Our product and engineering teams are always experimenting to help buyers shop our unique listings with confidence, and launching this feature is an exciting first step in implementing augmented reality to create a more visual shopping experience," she explained.

"Our beta launch starts with prints, photography and portraits, and we’re excited to collect feedback from our community as we work to expand into other categories."

The feature is still in beta testing and currently only available for Apple mobile app users, with an Android roll-out promised soon.

Retail should not be a high-risk occupation. As a company, we are focused on listening to our colleagues and customers to help them with the issues they are facing in-store and so far, the feedback on our body cameras has been excellent. They act as a great visual deterrent, help to de-escalate situations and overall, this project has significantly aided our goal to make the retail environment safer.
