Last fall the app gained ARKit support to help shoppers discover items with AR View in addition to the app’s product search feature.

The filmmakers behind the original Alien had a hard time coming up with a unique design for the creature until screenwriter Dan O’Bannon introduced director Ridley Scott to the artwork of H.R. Giger.
