Silhouette- Win a trip to New York


I discovered this via Facebook banner and tried playing with it. It's an application that runs on Augmented Reality (AR). (Is it augmented reality we call it? Or virtual reality?) Well what does it do? It allows you to try on a selection of stylish glasses- real time and online!

For an eyewear company to come out with such an interesting idea, I am really giving this a thumbs up! Impressive!

The execution is great except that the instructions are not clear. I have my photos taken but did not know how to continue. (I was expecting a Thank You message but did not get anything like that.) I suggest it could be more user friendly by adding in some acknowledgement messages upon completion of each step and make navigation clear and easy.


Steps to join:

1) Upload or take a shot of your photo (take the shot live, using your webcam)
2) Mark your eyes and one of your ears so that the system will "wear" the glasses on your face
3) Share your photo and stand a chance to win a trip to New York!

Here's one of the photos I did! :)
