eBay Home automation AI/AR rich shopping experience
s part of the new "richer shopping experiences" R&D initiative I led at eBay I developed an AR-triggered, AI-powered mobile shopping experience for the Home Automation category on eBay. By pointing the phone's camera at any home automation product, the tool used computer vision to recognize the device and allowed the user to shop for the specific items on eBay's large inventory of home automation products. AI was used to check compatibility with the device the users already owned and suggest configuration, installation and usage tips. A multitude of other rich content immersed the user in relevant info about their home automation setup and showed the breadth of spectrum of value that powers eBay's inventory.
