In this interview I speak with Beck Besecker, CEO of Marxent whose product VisualCommerce is the virtual products platform, designed to empower retailers and manufacturers with next-generation Augmented and Virtual Reality visualization tools.

Produt visualization is a key part of any type of retail, from traditional phot-based imagery to new modern digital options in-store as well as online via e-commerce.  Although there is a lot of buzz around AR and VR it's difficult to find real life, working tools retailers can use today to deliver these experiences to shoppers.  Used by Lowe’s Home Improvement, Simmons Bedding Company, AZEK Building Supplies and Scranton Products, the VisualCommerce™ 3D Virtual Reality Design Studio and Showroom platform is robust, mature and built for the enterprise. Applications include sales demos, events, service and ecommerce.
