FittingBox Acquires Ditto, Consolidating AAPL Ecosystem AR Try-On Partners
What happened
French optical-tech firm FittingBox has acquired Ditto, an AI-powered virtual eyewear try-on company that built its consumer products on Apple's ARKit and Vision Pro platform. Financial terms were not disclosed. The deal merges FittingBox's optical-retail distribution network with Ditto's smartphone and spatial-computing AR tools. Ditto had been an active third-party developer within Apple's augmented reality ecosystem, deploying try-on experiences across iPhone, iPad, and Vision Pro applications.
