Pick a frame and click on the “Try now” button to see how you look with it. Start here!

In the past, not buying a pair of glasses in a physical store would be madness. These days, it just makes sense.
 
Our Virtual Try-On technology makes it incredibly easy to find a new pair of glasses online that you’ll love in real life. With just a webcam or a photo of yourself, you’ll be able to try on our full Mouqy collection from home. It’s fast, easy and pretty damn fun, if we can say so ourselves!
 

How our virtual try-on feature works

Our Virtual Try-On feature lets you try on your favorite Mouqy frames in 2 ways:
 

  • Use your webcam to ‘wear’ them in real-time.
  • Upload an image of your face.

 
Just follow the instructions below.

4. Customize your perfect fit

 
Our real-time Virtual Try-On is fun to play around with, but the most accurate way to see how our glasses will fit on your face is to capture a still image. You’ll then be able to customize your glasses to your personal measurements.

Studies have proven that measurements like pupillary distance (PD) can vary considerably according to gender, age and ethnicity. We wanted to make sure our Virtual Try-On took this into consideration.

Here’s how to capture a still image with your webcam:
 

  • Make sure your entire head is in the frame and centered in the middle. Look straight forward at the camera.
  •  

  • Click the “CAPTURE” camera icon at the top left of the Virtual Try-On Screen.
  •  

  • Click “CONTINUE” to launch facial recognition technology. If it’s unable to detect your face, it will ask you to click and drag the green dots so that they are at the centre top, bottom, left, and right of your face.

 
Then, it’s time to adjust it to your face.
 
Open up settings by clicking on the slider icon at the bottom of the Virtual Try-On window.
 
adjust glasses setting within tryon
 
Then follow the instructions below to fit your glasses to your face:
 

  • Change your pupillary distanceClick on the drop down menu next to the words ‘Pupillary distance’ and select your PD. If you don’t know your PD, check our article on how to measure your PD.
  •  

  • Adjust your iris positionClick on each of the blue dots and centre them on your iris in the image.
  •  

  • Change your iris sizeLook for the words “ADJUST IRIS SIZE” at the top of the Virtual Try-On Screen. Click on the plus and minus to increase or decrease the size of the iris, until it perfectly fits your irises in the photograph.
  •  

  • Adjust your eye shapeClick “Back” twice and check that the highlighted area matches your eye shape in the image. You can click and drag the green dots to adjust it.

 
When you’re done, click the “CONTINUE” button until you arrive back at your still image (you may need to click a few times, depending on what screen you were last on).
 
You should now be able to see how your frames look on your face! Like them?
 

  • Click “LIVE” to toggle back to live webcam mode.
  • Click the button underneath to add or remove your Mouqy glasses.

If you don’t have access to a camera, or if you’re making a purchase for someone else, you can easily upload a photo and let the Virtual Try-on tool work its magic. Here’s how.

Here’s why we love our Virtual Try-On technology:
