Walmart acquires AR optical technology company Memomi
Walmart recently acquired Memomi, an AR optical technology company, to enhance its virtual try-on service for products such as glasses. With more than 2,800 Walmart locations and more than 550 Walmart-affiliated warehouse stores, SamsClub will provide more convenient virtual try-on services.
“Customers are looking for access to care digitally, in their homes, and purchasing eyeglasses is no different,” said David Reitnauer, Vice President, Specialty Services, Walmart Health & Wellness. “This acquisition supports our Health & Wellness mission to provide accessible care to the communities we serve.”
In addition to acquiring Memomi, Walmart previously acquired Zeekit technical resources. Users can use AR technology to confirm the placement of furniture products at home, thereby judging whether the size and style of the originally selected furniture are appropriate.
