The soft launch of Beautyque Verse represents a significant evolution from its first 3D virtual store and a crucial step in refining its VR shopping experience, highlighted by its innovative shopping feature. “It’s not just about the enhanced visual quality and user interface; we’ve integrated advanced AI and AR capabilities to create a more personalized shopping experience. The platform is more intuitive, interactive, and tailored to each user’s preferences, reflecting our commitment to innovation and customer-centric design,” Sonia believes.
“This phase is essential for gathering feedback from our beta testers – a community of beauty enthusiasts and tech-savvy early adopters – who are not just testing but actively co-creating the platform with us. Their insights are vital in ensuring that Beautyque Verse truly resonates with the needs and expectations of our customers, particularly in pioneering social interaction within the VR beauty space.”
Beautyque NYC is known for focusing on immersive technology and community-building since its launch in May 2020 with the first 3D beauty retail platform.
“Beautyque Verse is more than a product destination; we’re nurturing an innovative space for learning and personal growth in beauty, emphasizing an ‘outside-in’ approach,” Sonia adds. “We embrace VR, AR and AI, balanced with human insights, to gently guide this unique journey. Our aspiration is to thoughtfully expand our offerings and, in doing so, contribute meaningfully to the evolving landscape of beauty tech.”
