The technology is based on the 3D photogrammetry scanner developed by NeXR, which was further developed in cooperation with H&Mbeyond.H&Mbeyond. not only wants to offer customers an exciting digital shopping experience but also to analyze the influence that scanning solutions like this can have on returns behavior.
