HOLITION, one of the leading market drivers in augmented reality (AR) is delighted to announce an exclusive collaboration with TATLER magazine. In the September issue the magazine contains an AR jewellery special, featuring multi-million pound rings that readers can ‘try on’, whilst sitting at their computer. All you need is a pair of scissors and a webcam.
International jewellery brands featured in this world-first piece of editorial are Boodles, Cartier, Chanel Fine Jewellery, Chopard, De Beers, Fabergé, Graff, Harry Winston, Louis Vuitton, Mikimoto, Tiffany and Van Cleef & Arpels.
Kate Reardon, Editor of TATLER comments, “I’m beside myself with excitement. We’re bringing together the worlds of high tech and high jewellery, frankly I’ll be spending the next week trying on diamonds at my desk.”
Jessica Walsh, TATLER’s Jewellery Editor adds, “What excites me is that we have brought together the oldest magazine in the world with an industry steeped in heritage and tradition — and combined the two to create a ‘first-time’ digital innovation. Digital technologies are changing the way in which people interact with both media and brands and I am excited to be contributing to this shift through such an exciting initiative.”
Jonathan Chippindale, CEO Holition says, “We’re delighted Kate Reardon and the team at TATLER have appreciated the potential of augmented reality as it provides an excellent platform for HOLITION to further increase the creativity and potential of augmented reality technology. In the end it is about creating a fantastic stand-out user experience. So many people are looking online for their favourite fashion or jewellery item but what about trying it on before going to buy – it’s all about experiencing the brand in a different way using a webcam – you don’t need to know the technical details you just want to try it on!”
The September issue of TATLER is available on news-stand from Thursday, August 4.
