Brands can add an immersive 3D virtual store and integrate it into their main site. The Integration enables users to embed the XR-Stores Platform viewer into any relevant page of the ecommerce site, and have it integrated to the local cart. The ByondXR Virtual stores platform acts as an extension of the existing site and works side-by-side with it. Through standard web technologies it creates a photorealistic 3D view of the store or showroom where end user can visit, engage, enjoy and shop. The Integration can connect the ecommerce stores to other metaverse platforms using the ByondXR Commerce Platform as the mediator to other environments – allowing the brand/retailer to open many new touch-points with the end-users and have an integrated unified user-journey.

While it may take another five years or so to fully implement all the possibilities the metaverse offers, many big brands are already setting up immersive phygital experiences for consumers to explore. Whether you’re trying to figure out the best ways to get your brand’s foot in the metaverse door or are just curious about the direction brands are headed, this guide outlines the top metaverse trends for today’s brands.
Eran Galil, cofounder and CTO at Israel-based retail tech company ByondXR, told VentureBeat that companies must create engaging experiences for consumers if they are to improve sales. Galil said that’s why ByondXR developed a proprietary ecommerce platform that provides scalable immersive solutions to help retailers create and manage virtual stores and showrooms that increase customer engagement and sales. ByondXR’s technology stack includes live shopping, virtual try-ons, NFTs, avatars, AI bots, 3D asset creation and optimizations, 3D rendering, AR/VR, embeddable mini-games, cloud rendering, behavioral analytics, authoring and publishing tools and more. Another way ByondXR prioritizes customer experience, according to Galil, is by allowing retailers to add their own ecommerce, media and fun elements through control plugins. “Users can now decide what, when and how they want to showcase in their store, making managing a virtual store comprehensive, easy and quick,” he said.
The company teamed up with Deutsche Telekom to create “the first real-life full metaverse shopping experience” at the Digital X event in Cologne, Germany. ByondXR set up several stations showcasing metaverse shopping via a sample beach store. The first experience represents AR shopping, where visitors viewed products from the store in augmented reality while completing an interactive activation. Another station let visitors view a 360-degree, fully 3D-rendered virtual store. And there was also a virtual reality store and a Roblox version, too.
Israeli startup helps Coca-Cola, Lancôme and big brands recreate shops online. ByondXR’s online simulation of physical retail stores boosts sales during pandemic. Lancôme has used ByondXR to launch a new range of global ecommerce stores featuring its luxury perfumes and cosmetics. Online shoppers can interact with goods and customer service representatives, instead of just scrolling through an online catalogue.
Virtual showroom technology has grown significantly in light of the pandemic, offering brands the ability to host wholesale appointments that capture the experience that a buyer would have had in person. The immersive digital showrooms can be designed to look identical to a brand’s physical showroom and even allow the user to navigate the environment without the usual restraints and challenges that physical space encounters. The implementation of virtual showrooms will become the new standard.
Lancôme is creating virtual stores worldwide that use XR technology that will make available a full-scale simulation of physical experiences as an integral part of their e-commerce platform. According to Malik Abu-Ghazaleh, Global Head of Digital Marketing, eCommerce and CRM at Lancôme, XR technology has allowed the company to create true-to-life immersive pop-up experiences for Lancôme consumers around the world.
