For small artists and craftsmen selling handmade items online, a major source of income is their social media presence. I wondered if selling jewelry you make would be so much easier if your customers could try them on before they buy them. I was trying to figure out a way to do that.

​

This example was built using Spark AR, it lets you try on earrings virtually using the Instagram Camera. This was perfect because it was designed for social sharing. The Instagram / Facebook Camera effect is available on any phone that runs Instagram or Facebook, and you can share links for your AR try-on. Social media presence and link shareability make self-promotion for individual artists convenient.

I must confess this hasn't been rigorously tested in real life, but a use case is highlighted above.
