Our Story

Cappasity lets companies create & deliver 3D/VR/AR experiences to blur the line between online and in-store shopping. It is the first scalable and easy-to-adopt solution for complex eCommerce projects that only takes 3 minutes/SKU to create a 3D and embed it into a store.

Our clients see higher conversion rates (10-30% increase), 6x higher dwell time in the product page, less returns, and less customer inquiries when their products have interactive 3D images. The platform also provides unique 3D analytics tool based on AI to track customers’ online behavior and ensure the best product presentation online. It also detects real buyers among site visitors to run more efficient marketing and ad targeting campaigns. Cappasity 3D format can also be used in VR/AR apps and for digital signage in brick-and-mortar stores to power an omnichannel customer experience.

Cappasity was founded in 2013 with the aim of developing a technological standard and an easy and scalable platform for creation, embedding and analysis of 3D and VR/AR content. Cappasity launched its platform and 3D digitizing software in 2017.
