Product: TruePD
Top Line: Virtual try-on company, Ditto, is launching TruePD, a precise, user-friendly online PD tool. TruePD can measure PD within +/- 1mm of accuracy for the large majority of customers, according to Ditto.
Ditto’s TruePD will work in two ways:
• On the web using a standard-sized card from your wallet
• On an Apple mobile device with a TrueDepth sensor (iPhoneX+, iPad Pro, etc.)
Close Up: TruePD provides eCommerce retailers with a fast, simple, and accurate way to obtain customer PD’s. The online tool:
• Removes a key blocker to online sales which will increase conversion rate
• Reduces returns from inaccurate PDs
• Improves the customer experience by removing the burden for a customer to manually measure their PD with a ruler or track it down from their optometrist.
Ditto is seamlessly integrating TruePD with its existing product offering so that customers who use the company’s virtual try-on don’t have to scan their face again. Ditto has created a web version that uses a standard-sized card as the reference object for scaling and an iOS version that leverages the TrueDepth sensor and doesn’t require the card. When coupled with other Ditto products, TruePD improves the accuracy and fit of virtual try-on and enables more relevant frame recommendations, according to Ditto.
The current version of TruePD will measure far PD. Near PD and DualPD measurements will be included in future versions.
