Future of Product Visualization: Try Before You Buy Is Dead.


Episode Summary
Our guest, Daniel Frith, is the Chief Creative Officer at London Dynamics and a former 3D lead at IKEA, with over 30 years of experience in 3D visualization across gaming, retail, and tech.
In this groundbreaking episode, we dive deep into the future of e-commerce with Daniel Frith, a pioneer who's been shaping 3D visualization for three decades. From his early inspiration by Disney's Tron movie to revolutionizing how IKEA presents products online, Daniel shares insights on how 3D technology is transforming retail.
The conversation explores how businesses can digitize physical products, allowing customers to interact with items in ways traditional photography simply can't match.
