Warby Parker Adds ‘Virtual Try-On’ Option to Its App

Warby Parker has added a “virtual try-on” feature to its iPhone app.

It allows users to see what frames would look like on them using augmented reality, Wired reports.

Wired reports that the feature gives you a preview in “impressive detail.”

The feature has been a long time in the making.
