A mobile application offered by Netshoes enables users to identify sneaker models through image recognition technology. This functionality allows customers to capture a photograph of a shoe with their smartphone and subsequently receive information about the identified model, potentially including product details, pricing, and availability on the Netshoes platform. This leverages the user’s cell phone camera to simplify product discovery.
The implementation of this feature provides several advantages. It streamlines the process of finding a specific sneaker, especially when the user only has a visual reference. Historically, identifying a shoe required extensive searching through catalogs or relying on the user’s memory. This technology enhances the shopping experience by offering a faster and more intuitive method for product identification. It also provides a potential bridge for offline discoveries, allowing a user to identify a sneaker they see in the real world and quickly find it online.
