Online shopping made easier – Snap, Upload and Search

Here’s HOW…

1. Snap a picture of d’ dress, top, or whatever that fancies you.
   In this example, a picture of a pair of white boots is snapped, see red circle in Figure 1.

2. Upload the picture to ushoppa.com by using the “Search Similar > Upload” feature.

   In order for the system to disregard any background noise, don’t forget to specify the “Object of interest in image”, in this case “boots”. After clicking upload, ushoppa will automatically perform an image search and return you with relevant results.
   
   
3. Set and apply your preference
   You can further refine your search by specifying the importance of the search item’s characteristic – colour, shape and pattern. You do this by manipulating the slider bars (click and drag) and then clicking “Apply”.

   Results returned will then be ranked by the importance of color, shape and pattern that you specified. Voilà! :)
