InvestorsHub NewsWire -- NexTech AR
Solutions (the "Company" or "NexTech") (OTCQB: NEXCF) (CSE: NTAR) (FSE: N29) is pleased to
announce that it has entered into an agreement with Walther Arms
Inc, most famous as the manufacturer of James Bond's Walther
PPK,
to Aritize its entire product line. Walther is a
German weapons manufacturer and a subsidiary of the PW
Group. NexTech is going
to provide 3D product models
to Walther through its web AR eCommerce platform.
"We
are excited to be partnering with NexTech
AR. This technology
will give our customers a new way to interact with our products
before and after their purchase. Walther products feature many
details in machining and quality, and the 3D representation will
allow the customer to clearly see the differences in our product
when compared to the competition," said Cody Osborn, M.Ed.
Marketing Manager for Walther Arms, Inc.
NexTech is
converting Walther Arms Inc.'s approximately 25 products into high
fidelity 3D models to be used on Walther's product pages, in 3D
ads, and for use in a Walther AR showroom app.
Walther's existing and future customers will be able to view the
products in full 3D on the Walther website, with 360-degree
rotation, and to "place" the products in their space to understand
the quality of craftsmanship before purchase.
"Being
able to use augmented reality for visualizations, and 3D product
views of precision high-quality products like the Walther
PPK
pistol
and other precision products makes a ton of business sense," said
Evan Gappelberg, CEO of NexTech. "We are very excited to be
bringing our web-enabled AR technology to such an iconic brand and
leader in its field."
Founded by Carl Walther in 1886, the company has manufactured
firearms and air guns at its facility in Germany for more than 100
years. Walther Arms, Inc. is the United States Walther business
unit and is based in Fort Smith, Arkansas.
Gartner reports 100 million
consumers will shop in augmented reality online and in-store by
2020. NexTech is building out its AR and AI eCommerce offerings,
which include using AI to create a guided and knowledgeable curator
that can be programmed to be used for eCommerce or for education in
the medical device market.
