Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of augmented reality (AR) media characteristics on consumers’ purchase intention (PI) for fashion goods within the fashion industry context.
Design/methodology/approach
This study establishes five independent variables of salient AR media characteristics derived from existing studies which includes interactivity, vividness, augmentation, simulated physical control and environmental embedding. A quantitative online survey method is conducted with a sample of 172 respondents.
Findings
The findings suggest that all five AR media characteristics have a positive and significant influence on consumers’ PI for fashion goods. Among these five characteristics, interactivity and simulated physical control have the strongest positive impact on PI, followed by vividness, environmental embedding and augmentation.
Originality/value
This study provides valuable insights for fashion brands to better understand the media characteristics that consumers may be looking out for in AR experiences that could have an influence on their PI for fashion goods. This study also contributes to the literature by identifying the most influential AR media characteristics in the context of the fashion industry.
目的 本研究旨在调查增强现实(AR)媒体特征对时尚产业背景下消费者时尚商品购买意向(PI)的影响。设计/方法/方法 本研究根据现有研究建立了五个自变量的突出 AR 媒体特征,包括互动性、生动性、增强性、模拟物理控制和环境嵌入。研究结果表明,所有五个 AR 媒体特征都对消费者购买时尚商品的 PI 有积极而显著的影响。在这五种特征中,互动性和模拟物理控制对消费者对时尚商品的购买意愿产生的积极影响最大,其次是生动性、环境嵌入和增强性。本研究还确定了在时尚产业背景下最具影响力的 AR 媒体特征,为相关文献做出了贡献。
