If you have a wide variety of jewelry to choose from but no ability to showcase them together, look no further! Introducing our Multi-Category Look Builder, a solution for accommodating accessory visualization across multiple categories for desktop and mobile.
How it works: for customers
We've combined Look Builder functionality to allow for stacked bracelets, rings, and watches that can be viewed directly on models. Customers can work from pre-selected stacks or build their own from the ground up, adding the full stack directly to their cart. Individual items can still be added, removed, or swapped seamlessly; product dimension info and zooming in or out is also supported.
How it works: for retailers
Our embed integration works directly on the PLP (product listing page) to curate jewelry stacking. Here are some customization options available for retailers:
Choose the number of items from each category to display in stacking mode (e.g. 3 rings, 2 bracelets, and a watch).
Enable a single item or stacking mode by default when the widget is opened
This feature is ideal for retailers with a broad catalog of jewelry who want to showcase how their pieces look in tandem—sometimes a vision of bracelets, bangles, and rings doesn't hit a customer with an emotional impact until they can visualize the full stack in one place.
We understand the power of visuals and aesthetics—let us bring your creative vision directly to customers, eliminating the frustrations of hunting down and adding five individual pieces to a cart or the frustration of figuring out if a particular piece meshes well with others.
Supported Retail Categories
The following retail categories will be supported:
Watches (1 max)
Necklaces (1 max)
Bracelets (2 bracelets, can be more depending on the drag line length)
Rings (up to 3)
Earrings (including stacking)
Pendants (including stacking)
Brooches (including stacking)
Limitations and Specifications
Multi-category stacking does not currently support the following features:
Free dragging: Users will only be able to place products on pre-defined hotspots
VTO/On Me capabilities
Color selection
These features mentioned above are on our roadmap—we’ll keep you posted once they’re made available.
Note: For clients not using SFCC or Shopify who want to enable Look Builder, multi-SKU cart bundling should be requested separately. Clients using other e-commerce platforms may need to discuss additional integration steps with our team.

Introduction: VTO Clip vs. Classic AR – What’s the Difference?
VTO Clip and live AR work differently. These differences affect their performance and users' feelings about them.
Classic AR relies on the user's device to overlay 3D models directly onto the real-time video feed. This reliance requires the AR system to constantly process the camera's input and render virtual objects in real time, aligning them accurately with the user's movements.
VTO Clip works differently. Instead of relying on real-time rendering, it uses a recorded video of the user's hand or wrist. It is processed on a server where high-poly models and sophisticated rendering techniques are applied.
Both approaches have their strengths, especially for customers who want to see how rings, watches, bracelets, and other accessories look on them before making a purchase.
But Tangiblee's VTO Clip offers several advantages over the classic AR approach. This article discusses these benefits and shows why VTO Clip is a superior choice for retailers and brands.
1. Record Once, Reuse Many Times – The Power of VTO Clip
One of the VTO Clip's most significant advantages is its ability to record a video once and reuse it across all your products.
Imagine you create a video of your hand wearing a generic bracelet. With VTO Clip, the same video can be used to visualize different bracelet styles and sizes without recording a new video for each product. This saves the online customer time and effort and ensures a consistent experience. By eliminating the need for prolonged or repetitive arm positioning during the virtual try-on process, VTO Clip helps avoid discomfort or "gorilla arm syndrome," which can negatively impact user satisfaction.
In contrast, classic AR often requires separate recordings or real-time adjustments for each product, which can be tedious.
2. Superior Quality Through Server-Side Rendering
A significant benefit of VTO Clip is its use of server-side rendering, which allows for a much higher-quality output. While classic AR must render each frame in real-time to avoid lag (usually within 33-50 milliseconds), VTO Clip pre-renders the video on the server.
Server-side rendering allows high-poly models and advanced techniques to produce a more detailed and realistic visualization. By pre-rendering the product visuals onto the recorded video, VTO Clip can afford to take longer—up to 1-2 minutes per frame—to ensure the highest quality output. This server-side processing enables more complex models and higher resolution. It also supports advanced visual effects, like better lighting and shadows. This approach creates a more realistic and attractive try-on experience. It also allows more devices to support the technology, including cheaper or less powerful ones.
3. Interactive & Shareable Content – Engage Your Customers
VTO Clip comes with advanced editing tools that are not available with classic AR. Users can pan through the video, zoom in and out, and stop on specific frames for a detailed look at the product. These features are especially beneficial for high-value items like jewelry and watches, where seeing intricate details from different angles is essential. With VTO Clip, you can explore every angle and detail at your leisure, creating a more thorough and satisfying shopping experience.
This interactive page allows users to pan, zoom, and even stack or move SKUs. Interactivity makes VTO Clip a versatile marketing tool that can be easily shared across different platforms, driving engagement and interest. In contrast, classic AR usually relies on static images and simple links, which are less engaging and shareable.
4. Effortless Coordination and Improved User Experience
Classic AR requires precise hand and finger placement when recording, which can be challenging, especially if you want to display multiple products or move a ring between different fingers.
With VTO Clip, you don't have to worry about perfect positioning while recording. First, recorda high-quality video, then choose and adjust the products. This two-step process simplifies the virtual try-on experience, making it more enjoyable and user-friendly.
5. Accurate Fit and Realistic Sizing for Maximum Confidence
VTO Clip offers a more realistic fit by calibrating for different wrist sizes. Size calibration is particularly useful for virtual try-ons of watches and bracelets, as it more accurately represents how a product will look and fit on your wrist than Classic AR. Accurate sizing is a weakness of classic AR because it requires transmitting multiple 3D models to the user's device; this can impact performance and limit the number of wrist sizes realistically rendered.
This calibration feature is essential in the watch category because traditional AR solutions often scale the entire 3D model rather than adjusting the size of the bracelet or the watch band, leading to an inaccurate representation of how the watch will look on different wrist sizes. Future developments in VTO Clip promise to bring even better body tracking capabilities, enhancing its usefulness and appeal.
Why VTO Clip Is the Future of Virtual Try-Ons
VTO Clip distinguishes itself with its versatility, high quality, and user-friendly features. It excels particularly for products requiring detailed and realistic representation, such as jewelry and watches. Its ability to reuse content across various products, with advanced editing features, beautification options, realistic fit calibration, and superior server-side rendering, makes VTO Clip the preferred choice for brands and e-commerce retailers.
VTO Clip allows scaling across complete product catalogs and avoids the high costs of 3D models.
VTO Clip is ready to lead in technology, providing innovative solutions that enhance user experience and boost e-commerce success.
