Brace yourselves: Zara is getting into the augmented reality game, and the result is a cool new app everyone is talking about. Zara explained the app in a press release: "When smartphones using the Zara AR app scan graphic signage in these locations, models Léa Julian and Fran Summers 'come to life' in seven- to 12-second sequences on customers' phone screens. The models pose, move around, and talk while showcasing Zara's Studio Collection as part of an incredibly realistic experience."

So how can you use the app? Zara explained the different ways you can get in on the action: "Shoppers can unlock the experience in four ways: through store windows, via in-store podiums, on boxes they receive delivering online purchases, and via dedicated images at Zara.com." Scroll down to see how it works.
