NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 12, 2025--

WANNA, a leading provider of fashion AR virtual try-on solutions and a brand of Perfect Corp. (NYSE: PERF), announces the launch of the first-of-its-kind virtual try-on experience for high-heeled shoes. It allows online shoppers to see how the heels look on their feet and assess their shape, heel height, and overall style, which are key factors when choosing high-heeled shoes. This new experience complements WANNA’s full line of footwear virtual try-ons, which includes a wide range of styles from sandals to high boots.

Based on WANNA’s UX insights from luxury shoppers, key factors influencing high-heel purchases include color, heel height, and style compatibility with their wardrobe. One of the shoppers' most significant concerns is evaluating heel height. Often overlooked in static product images, these details are crucial for determining the final choice.

Virtually placing high heels presents a technical challenge due to foot positioning and perspective. The WANNA VTO experience for high-heeled shoes addresses these challenges by providing an interactive way to evaluate color, heel height, details, and craftsmanship before making a purchase. This provides a more immersive and informative experience than static visuals.

“At Perfect Corp., we continuously advance AR innovation to redefine the e-commerce and online retail experience. The launch of WANNA High-Heel Virtual Try-On marks a significant milestone in online fashion shopping, allowing consumers to confidently explore this footwear category, which was never possible before. This technology will empower online shoppers with an interactive, realistic way to assess their perfect pair of heels,”says Alice Chang, Perfect Corp. CEO.

The VTO experience supports a variety of high-heeled shoe categories, including pumps, heeled sandals, ankle boots, and high-heeled boots. It allows users to assess heel height with precision, showcasing options ranging from 7 cm for standard pumps to 9 cm for closed-toe heels. To ensure optimal accuracy, WANNA recommends trying on the heels either barefoot or with socks. The experience also offers multiple viewing angles — including side view, shoe sole, top-down view (as when sitting), and rear view — enabling users to evaluate style and proportions from every angle.

The feature is available across web and mobile applications, offering brands and consumers a highly flexible and engaging virtual shopping experience. Through feature testing, WANNA has observed user interest in high-heeled shoe try-ons, reaffirming the demand for a more interactive and confidence-boosting digital shopping experience. High-Heel Virtual Try-On is part of WANNA’s offering, which supports a wide range of footwear styles — including sneakers, gum shoes, brogues, loafers, Oxford boots, high boots, mules, sandals, flip-flops, and ballerinas.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Leo XIV expressed hope that the U.S.-Israel war on Iran could be finished before Easter in remarks to reporters as he left the papal retreat at Castel Gandolfo outside of Rome on Tuesday.

“I’m told that President Trump has recently stated that he would like to end the war,’’ the U.S.-born pope said. “I hope that he’s looking for an off-ramp.’’

“Hopefully he’s looking for a way to decrease the amount of violence, of bombing, which would be a significant contribution to removing the hatred that’s being created, that’s increasing constantly in the Middle East and elsewhere.”

Leo called on all world leaders to return to dialogue and look for “ways to reduce the amount of violence,’’ so that “peace, especially at Easter, might reign in our hearts.’’

Leo's remarks came during Holy Week, the most sacred period of the year for Christians.

“It should be the holiest time of the year. It is a time of peace, a time of reflection. But as we all know, again, in the world, in many places we are seeing so much suffering, so many deaths, even innocent children,’’ Leo said. “We constantly make the call for peace, but unfortunately, many people want to promote hatred, violence, war.’’

On Palm Sunday, the pontiff said God doesn’t listen to the prayers of those who make war or cite God to justify their violence, as he prayed especially for Christians in the Middle East during Mass in St. Peter’s Square.

Leaders on all sides of the Iran war have used religion to justify their actions. U.S. officials, especially Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, have invoked their Christian faith to cast the war as a Christian nation trying to vanquish its foes with military might.

Russia’s Orthodox Church, too, has justified Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as a “holy war” against a Western world it considers has fallen into evil.

As Holy Week continues, Leo will carry out the Holy Thursday foot-washing tradition in the basilica of St. John Lateran, where popes have performed it for decades. On Friday, Leo is due to preside over the Good Friday procession at Rome’s Colosseum commemorating Christ’s Passion and crucifixion, and will carry the cross himself. Saturday brings the late night Easter Vigil, during which Leo will baptize new Catholics, followed a few hours later by Easter Sunday when Christians commemorate the resurrection of Jesus.

Leo will celebrate Easter Sunday Mass in St. Peter’s Square and then deliver his Easter blessing from the loggia of the basilica.
