Product design and development is a booming industry making up the $14,000 million industry globally, and it is only expected to grow. Designers and marketers have an incredibly intricate and important role in the commercialization of products. Bringing a product to market in an appealing, engaging, and eye catching manner is the key to delivering high sales and revenue for an industry. But this task is easier said than done, as designing products, packaging, store arrangements, and online visualizations is a painstaking process taking skilled designers weeks if not months to create. Producing a high quality design that matches the brand, seasonality, and consumer metrics has never been an easy task, but VisionForge from Ankercloud technologies is aiming to make it easier. Let’s examine some of the use cases where VisionForge can streamline the creation process.

1. Visualizing Retail Excellence: VisionForge's Impact on the Customer Experience

‍

In the dynamic landscape of retail, shaping an attracting customer experience is important. The surging demand for immersive shopping encounters has boomed the world's retail market to different heights. Imagine a retail store that sells a wide range of products, including home decor items such as flower vases/pots, clocks, paintings and wallpapers etc. The store aims to create visually appealing product displays to attract and engage customers. However, manually rearranging products in various settings to assess their visual impact on a passing customer can be time-consuming and tedious. 

‍

Enter VisionForge. The retailer integrates VisionForge into their merchandising and retail strategy. When introducing a new product, the model is trained to simulate and visualize how the vase or a painting would appear in different contexts within a home setting. The product allows the user to visualize different layouts, lightings, and consumer views, based on what works for them. This includes scenarios like placing the vase on a dining table or in a living room shelf with precise position, color, and mood aptitude. 

‍

For example, to promote seasonal or special events, store managers can input specific seasonal themes or events, and VisionForge will generate virtual mock-ups of the store layout tailored to those parameters. For instance, it can visualize how the introduction of holiday-themed decor items or seasonal color palettes will enhance the overall ambiance of the store. This allows retailers to proactively plan and execute visually striking displays that resonate with customers during specific times of the year, encouraging customers to spend more time in stores, driving sales.

‍

This cutting-edge tool kicks off the process by collecting a set of reference images from the user, capturing expansive views of the store or zooming in on specific product displays. Users are then granted creative freedom to experiment with color schemes, merchandise arrangement, lighting, and more, tailoring the visuals to harmonize seamlessly with their distinctive preferences and style. It commences with a specialized text-to-image model, interpreting user prompts and settings to craft sets of  images spotlighting key features of the retail space based on the set of reference images that the user has submitted, capturing the style and themes of the images. Following this, customers can refine these images using an image-to-image model equipped with inpainting capabilities, seamlessly integrated with the robust Bedrock API from AWS. This can be used to make major or minor fixes to the images, including changing positioning, adding or removing objects, fixing lighting, or color modifications.

‍

VisionForge, with its adept simulation and visualization capabilities, becomes a catalyst for strategic decision-making. Imagine store managers inputting seasonal themes or special events, and VisionForge responding with virtual mock-ups tailored to those parameters. This isn't just about creating visually appealing displays; it's about driving sales. Retailers, armed with VisionForge, can proactively plan and execute captivating displays during specific times of the year, enticing customers to spend more time in stores and, consequently, increasing sales.

‍

Moreover, the efficiency gains are palpable. From the initial collection of reference images to the refinement process through the image-to-image model, VisionForge streamlines the visual merchandising workflow. It's not just about saving time; it's about optimizing resources and maximizing returns. As retailers experiment with layouts, colors, and lighting within the virtual canvas, they are sculpting an environment that resonates with customers on a deeper level.

The financial implications are clear – VisionForge doesn't merely improve product presentation; it boosts the bottom line. With the power to make major or minor fixes seamlessly, retailers can ensure their displays align with market demands and consumer preferences.
