• ByondXR Announces Personalized Virtual Stores, a New Integration with Salesforce Commerce Cloud (Dec 02, 2022)

  ByondXR's customers can now benefit from the new cartridge that allows users to automatically integrate and edit their personalized 3D virtual stores created by ByondXR into their hosting site

  NEW YORK, NY / December 1, 2022 / ByondXR announces the launch of a cartridge that enables virtual stores created on the ByondXR platform to be automatically embedded into their customers' hosting sites, a new integration with Salesforce Commerce Cloud, the fastest path to unified commerce. Commerce Cloud enables brands to provide personalized experiences for shoppers that span web, mobile, social and in-store. And now, as part of the world's #1 CRM platform - Salesforce - brands can deliver completely unified experiences for customers that extend beyond commerce to include marketing, customer service and more.

  ByondXR's integration empowers customers to have product from the ByondXR platform to be automatically uploaded to the hosting site as well. Now customers can manage their own virtual stores, take decisions, and implement them on the go. Customers have different options when installing the integration - in merchant tools they will be able to control exactly how the store will be displayed and which store will be used, whether it will be external or embedded into the existing store through a "step inside" button. PDP and CPA buttons can now be customized as well.

  ByondXR Virtual Stores Integration

  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.

  Comments on the News

  • "This cartridge integration is very important to the processes involved in managing e-commerce for our customers. We no longer need to have them go through a lengthy onboarding process, they can basically do everything themselves. It is a major step on our way to automate the creation and management of virtual stores" - says ByondXR CTO and Co-Founder, Eran Galil.
  • "Building relationships and knowing your customer is key to the success of any commerce business," said Scot Gillespie, EVP & GM, Salesforce Commerce Cloud. "For many customers, this requires a suite of integrations made possible by our partners. With ByondXR and Commerce Cloud, companies will be able to create personalized, omnichannel experiences for customers by having products from the ByondXR platform automatically uploaded to the hosting site."

• ByondXR Showcases the First Real-Life Full Metaverse Shopping Experience (Dec 02, 2022)

  NEW YORK, NY / September 13, 2022 / ByondXR, the leading immersive e-commerce platform helping brands and retailers create virtual shopping experiences, partnered with Deutsche Telekom to create the first real-life full metaverse shopping experience. Represented with six facets of metaverse shopping, the ByondXR experience gradually introduces how the same physical store will look and feel in AR, 3D Web, Web3, Full 3D, and VR. All presented by a new version of ByondXR Commerce Platform that enables brands & retailers to take their first steps in new metaverse environments and get tangible results. Visitors will be able to create their own avatars and receive NFTs, and will be presented with a digital briefcase filled with personalized goodies collected from each station.

  

  The six stations showcase metaverse shopping through a sample beach store created by ByondXR. The first experience represents AR shopping, where visitors will be able to view products from the store in augmented reality while completing an interactive activation. At the next station visitors will view a 360 fully 3D-rendered virtual store and be able to interact with it. After that, they will quite literally dive into a Roblox version of the store experiencing the fun of gamification in shopping. Following the refreshing experience visitors will create personalized avatars that they can later keep. With the new personas, visitors then experience the full 3D store where they can interact with other visitors. The final station is a Virtual Reality version of the store where visitors play an engaging shopping cart game. After completing all the stations, visitors may get their own unique NFTs to fill their digital briefcase, which represents two megatrends of the event - individualization and sustainability.

  The ByondXR full metaverse shopping experience is placed in the interactive quarter of the Digital X event. Two million square meters of event space, 15 stages, 2,500 square meters of marketplace, 50,000 expected participants: On September 13 and 14, 2022, Digital X will turn Cologne into a world full of digitization exhibits, innovations, and technology experiences. Together with more than 300 partners, over 200 brandhouses and around 60 start-ups, Europe's leading digitization initiative will be presenting trends and technical innovations relating to digitization - from 5G, IoT and autonomous driving to metaverse and robotics. It's the world's exhibition of digitization with speakers including Jessica Alba, Steve Wozniak and Michelle Hunziker. ByondXR CEO and Co-Founder, Noam Levavi, will speak about The Maturation of Virtualized Spaces on the 14th of September at the disruption stage. Check ByondXR social networks for live stream links.

• ByondXR Partners with the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) on Course to Educate the Next Generation of Virtual Fashion Builders (Dec 02, 2022)

  After a successful start in the Spring '22 semester, the course returned for the '22-'23 school year

  NEW YORK, NY / October 27, 2022 / ByondXR, the market leader for immersive virtual retail experiences, announced that it is bringing its software to the classroom through an exclusive course created for the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). The Business of Virtual Merchandising, which first launched in January 2022 for the Spring 2022 semester, focused on sustainability and technological advancements in fashion as the industry moves further toward future of virtual retail technologies. In the Fall 2022 semester, the course will focus on the changes in retail merchandising for wholesale showrooms, retail visual merchandising and online platforms, and B2B/B2C business models. FIT is also exploring options for adding more advanced 3D courses into the curriculum.

  The course teaches students to apply cloud-based virtual software to create virtual showrooms for wholesale and retail brands. Throughout the semester, they will be able to apply their skills to merchandise collections, plan and allocate product catalogs, and create visual merchandising presentations - all in a virtual setting.

  

  "It's an honor to help young minds learn about fast-evolving and ever-changing technology within the fashion industry," said Noam Levavi, CEO and Co-founder of ByondXR. "We were happy to hear positive feedback from the students in the Spring ‘22 course and that they felt the skills they learned were incredibly relevant in today's market. Now more than ever, we have a duty as a technology leader in the fashion industry to share our knowledge, skills, and resources with emerging talent."

  Registration for the Fall 2022 course has more than doubled in size compared to the spring registration. Due to this high demand, the course has expanded from one cohort to two, giving students the opportunity to work in a virtual merchandising environment gained through the use of ByondXR's Virtual Showroom Platform.

  

  "This course was very fun to teach last semester and I'm excited to bring the material to new students this school year," said Jennifer Bentivegna, assistant professor and assistant chairperson, Fashion Business Management at FIT, and an FIT graduate who helped build the course to fit student needs and teaches the class at FIT. "Last year, my students expressed confidence that learning more skills around the new web platforms and multi-reality commerce will help them secure more opportunities in the job market or even internships. I'm looking forward to returning to the classroom this Fall and continuing to explore the world of virtual experiences and its relationship with the fashion industry with my students."

  "Today's students are extremely motivated and excited for the possibilities that the future of the industry will bring," said Robin Sackin, assistant professor of Fashion Business Management at FIT. "They are enthusiastic about exploring new opportunities and careers in this ever-evolving industry. As we all look ahead, it is important to realize that the opportunities that were available for a graduate 10 years ago are comparably different to those available today."

Next, if guests are looking for something a little more classic, they can explore the bars and hollow figures. A colorful wall of LINDOR Truffles and a chocolate fountain almost make you smell the chocolate! Exploring the store further, guests can then move over into the warm and cozy living room with a great view of the wintry forest through the floor-length windows. Once in the living room, guests get to play a memory game to win a shopping discount and choose some of the best holiday gifts for their loved ones. The best part? The Chocolate Lab where guests can look over the Lindt Master Chocolatier's shoulder where they're creating the most delicious chocolates. Guests can also watch videos and learn the most interesting facts about what goes into making Lindt chocolate.

  

  "Here at Lindt USA, we are delighted to offer customers this cutting edge, retail experience just in time for the Holidays" - said Patrick Diggelmann, Vice President of Retail and E-Commerce at Lindt USA.
