Abstract:	Technologies around augmented and virtual reality are advancing, and adoption is gaining momentum because of falling hardware costs. This paper provides insights into the use of online interactive 3D product representations as opposed to static pictures. An online experiment is conducted to examine effects on trust, intention to use, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use. A treatment group is exposed to a 3D interactive representation whereas the control group is presented with static pictures. The findings of this research observe higher levels of trust, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and intention to use. These aspects tend to positively affect desired consumer behavior and are thus relevant for e-shopping vendors. The use of interactive 3D representation in e-commerce is beneficial, and thus, e-commerce vendors seeking to build trust and profit from the positive effect this may have on purchase intention are advised to use interactive 3D product representations online and strongly consider WebVR technology to implement such representations.
