Technology for this site
We're using WebGL technology for the 3D bracelet customizer. We mathematically generated the threads and used a 3D scanner for the tie, then created textures to make all of the elements appear as a single piece of jewelry. You can read more about WebGL techonology here:

WebRTC is really new. You can read about it here:
https://webrtc.org/. We're using it as part of the Augmented Reality because it allows you to access streaming video using the getUserMedia API. Basically, this allows us to access the user's webcamera, interpret the video stream (searching for AR markers) and then add a 3D object overlay on the screen to create the "virtual try-on" feature.
