| dc.description.abstract | The Sri Lankan footwear industry has sustained
for a very long time and has been successful in serving the
local market. One of the biggest industries today struggling
with e-business models is the footwear sector. The researcher
has gone through the existing footwear-selling applications.
During the procedure of analyzing the problem, the
researcher conducted interviews with footwear sellers and
buyers and distributed questionnaires to them. The key
obstacle that people have encountered when making online
purchases is finding the best footwear product that suits their
requirements. This means that it can be difficult to imagine
how shoes will appear on their feet and how they will feel
when they are worn. The researcher found out that
augmented reality can quickly resolve this problem.
Augmented reality is a field of image processing that deals
with the combination of the real world and virtual
environment. Researchers investigated through ARCore,
ARKit, and DeepAR for 3D model visualization. In mobile
app development, DeepAR has important features for 3D
model rendering such as plane detection, point detection,
light estimation, 3D object tracking, background
segmentation, and object placement. Therefore, the
researcher has proposed DeepAR technology for footwear
visualization. Users will be able to accurately visualize how
the footwear will look on their feet in real time. Finally, the
researcher proposes a mobile application that would help
customers who made direct online shoe purchases by letting
them virtually see how the shoes would look once they were
worn. To increase the profitability of the current footwear
industry, the proposed system will give greater support. | en_US |
