Augmented Reality Furniture Visualizer with Cimagine
Added the first of it's kind Augmented Reality application in the US for the traditional furniture industry utilizing Cimagine technology.
Cimagine, the augmented reality application, lets mobile device users virtually decorate by using the camera lens of their mobile devices to place 3D versions of products in their rooms and see them from all angles before they buy.

Cimagine, the augmented reality application, lets mobile device users virtually decorate by using the camera lens of their mobile devices to place 3D versions of products in their rooms and see them from all angles before they buy. Jerome’s soft launched the program with “See it in your home” tabs on certain product pages in late May. Since then, it has seen a 65% conversion to e-commerce sales for consumers using the app vs. those who do not.
And the increased time they’re spending on the website is through the roof — nearly quadrupling to 15 minutes for the app users vs. four minutes for other Web visitor.
This has been hugely successful for us here at Jerome's.Other creatorsSee project -
Special Order Visualizer using Cylindo
The Challenge was enabling customers to visualize what a special order sofa will actually look like in the fabrics they like.
The custom upholstery program is a key part of the business for us at Jerome's. Despite the popularity the custom upholstery program wasn’t reaching the full potential as we were lacking the ability to visualize and show all the custom options, including fabric and colors options of body and pillow fabrics.

The custom upholstery program is a key part of the business for us at Jerome's. Despite the popularity the custom upholstery program wasn’t reaching the full potential as we were lacking the ability to visualize and show all the custom options, including fabric and colors options of body and pillow fabrics.
The lack of a proper visualization service also resulted in frequent product returns as customers would base their purchase decision on small fabric samples, but without the ability to see how it would actually appear on the sofa. Then at delivery too often the fabric would appear different, which then led to customers deciding to return the product. Bad for the business and a poor shopping experience for the customer.
The solution was deploying Cylindo's state of the art visualization tools on our website.
After development and deployment, our customers can now see in photo realistic quality what special order sofa's will look like with literally thousands of options. And also be able to spin those 360 degrees in a responsive web page that looks great on phone, tablets and desktops.
The effect was 25% increase in online conversions. 274% increased user engagement and most of all, an excellent customer experience and happy buying customers.

In Store Beacon Project for Google In Store Advertising Tracking
Collaborating with Google, I coordinated the installation of beacons in our store locations to track in store visits that result from online advertising with Google.
Utilizing iBeeks with the latest Eddystone platform, an open source, cross-platform Bluetooth LE beacon format. Bluetooth beacons are part of the Internet of Things (IoT) trend.

Utilizing iBeeks with the latest Eddystone platform, an open source, cross-platform Bluetooth LE beacon format. Bluetooth beacons are part of the Internet of Things (IoT) trend. They're little transmitters (usually battery powered) that send out information about a specific point of interest, and that info is then passively picked up by a smartphone or tablet in range of the transmitter.
Currently only used for advertising tracking, but we could add other proximity features if we so desire in the future. All tracking is 100% anonymous tokenized data for privacy.
The project has allowed me to track accurately the in-store impact of online advertising, it has been a huge success. -
Live Chat Planning and Implementation, Staffing
Added a semi custom chat system to the website so that we could chat with customers on the website. The solution is also fully responsive so it works great on tablets, phones and of course computers. Working with operations and sales management, we constructed a solid team for the initiative. Results have been excellent and we are expanding staffing and the program itself.
