Detroit-based online marketplace StockX today announced it has launched an immersive shopping app for Apple Vision Pro, Apple’s new spatial computer featuring a showcase with 3-D models of top sneakers.
StockX says it is among the first companies to design an app specifically for use with the Apple Vision Pro.
“Nothing replaces the feeling of picking a sneaker off the shelf and holding it in your hands, but this new experience comes very close,” says Greg Schwartz, president and COO of StockX. “Innovation is at the heart of everything we do at StockX.
“We were the first to introduce stock market mechanics to the resale space, and we’re proud to be one of the first marketplaces to launch a spatial app for Apple Vision Pro. It’s everything you know and love about StockX, but in an entirely new dimension.”
In addition to the 3-D sneaker showcase, the new app features a “rich product browse and discovery experience,” live and actionable market data, and a Shop the Look feature allowing users to browse user-generated content from customers around the world in a 4K display.
According to the company, the app was designed entirely in-house by a small group of StockX product designers and engineers. The team was assembled in December 2023.
In addition to all the standard benefits StockX customers enjoy when shopping on the platform — including 360-degree photography, seamless shopping, and expert-verified products — it introduces features designed to take advantage of Apple Vision Pro’s spatial computing capabilities, including:
Immersive sneaker showcase: 3-D models of top sneaker releases that appear on shelves in the user’s home environment. Interaction with products in a “hyper-realistic manner,” examining the craftsmanship and detail of each item.
Rich product discovery: Users can browse StockX’s full product catalog with eye tracking and hand gestures and view their favorite products in detail.
Interactive market data: Users can engage with live market data and interact with visual graphs and detailed sales information for real-time insights, allowing them to make informed buying decisions.
Shoppable outfits in 4K: High-resolution user-uploaded outfits are available.
Seamless buying: Users can navigate the resale market with ease, making transactions in just a few intuitive gestures.
“In addition to being one of the first resale marketplaces to bring spatial shopping to market, the StockX experience offers a unique balance between immersive features and our core competencies,” says Drew Moore, senior director of product design at StockX. “We’re incredibly proud of how this first iteration came together, and we’re already looking forward to rolling out the next phase of features and updates.”
Looking ahead, StockX says it plans to add selling capabilities and further personalization offerings to the app, including a feature that allows customers to shop and browse the same products as their friends using SharePlay.
