It’s always a hassle to find time in your schedule, and then you have to deal with trying on all those glasses until you find the perfect pair. Fittingbox is changing all that. This company has developed cutting-edge technology that allows you to try on glasses virtually, in real-time. You can even do it from your desktop or mobile device!

Virtual Try-On (Remote)
Virtual fitting rooms which allow you to try on glasses virtually in real-time using augmented reality technology from any device such as computers or mobile phones. This allows customers to see what they look like with different frames before making an expensive purchase decision! The platform is used by brands around the world directly on their websites and mobile apps. It is designed to enhance the shopping experience for the user while reducing returns to the company.
Virtual Try-On (Onsite)
An in-store optical experience where customers can use pick their favorite frames while a stylist helps them narrow down options based on face shape, skin tone, and style preference. It is perfectly designed to be integrated into the office of Opticians, Optometrists, ECPs to add their own catalog of frames for their customers and patients.
Photo Studio
A digital platform that provides retailers with a full library of frame models. This allows you to immediately integrate different models of glasses into your offerings on the web or mobile apps. The Photo Studio includes standard photos and 360-degree views. The company produces professional renderings with strong attention to the little details of each model.
Model Studio
This offering is designed to go along with the Photo Studio. It takes the renderings of the glasses and places them on nearly any model’s face. This way you can generate consistent examples of the products you offer on your own collection of models, in nearly any position.
Database
A visual search engine that allows customers to find frames based on color, style, or shape. This is an invaluable tool for those who have trouble describing what they want in words but can see it clearly when shown pictures! It’s also helpful if you’re shopping online because sometimes there are no descriptions of the product at all!

If you are a small or medium-sized business, you know how difficult it can be to put together all of the data you need to get the most out of tax law. There are tons of credits available to you, but you must know what qualifies so you can avoid a costly and time-consuming IRS audit. You can pay a tax professional to constantly monitor your activities to look for things like R&D tax credits, but that might cost the company more than what it will get back in credits.

When you’ve got a newborn baby, it can be really difficult to keep track of all of the things you need to do. You’ve got to feed them, with a bottle, breastfeeding, or a combination of the two.

You can keep track of it in a book, but that requires carrying another thing around with you. 
The last two years have created a lot of new scenarios for the world. Particularly, the business world has had to adapt to a lot of adjusted scenarios.

Watching a loved one disappear into a fog of confusion and often anger is emotionally distressing for the caretakers and family. Unfortunately, there has not been any way to detect these issues early on with efficiency, making it difficult to treat before the disease progresses beyond repair. However,
