Retail Shopping

It is going to look a lot different in the coming years. First of all, we can technically live right from our homes without every leaving because anything and everything we need can be ordered online. For those of us who cannot bare the thought of ordering clothes online without trying them on first, there is even news for you. Think of this experience for a second:

Your body is scanned and the data file is private. It's your exact body on that exact day. You put on your VR goggles, and appear in a virtual store. Zero time to get there.You enter YOUR personal clothing store. Everything in this store is your exact size. Everything fits. The store has every designer and every design on the planet. Your friend, who you called a few minutes ago, joins you via their VR headset, and he or she sees everything you see. The experience is social and fun. You voice what you're looking for. You can ask an AI advisor (online and listening) for help. Presto, a fashion show materializes before your very eyes. Every model walking down the runway looks like you and is wearing a different combination of clothing. When you see an outfit you like, you just point and instantly, your virtual self is wearing it. No frustration of getting undressed or dressed. Mirrors all around allow you to see your virtual self from every angle. As you move in real life, your virtual reflection the mirror moves in exact sync. It feels and looks just like you are looking at yourself in the mirror.

This is going past of shopping with mobile applications and things like social media. Do you think that it will catch on and if so, how soon?

  1. It looks like even mobile applications will be a part of virtual reality. Software development will be very integrated into our lives.

  2. I have yet to use mobile applications when shopping. Though I really hope this type of technology is going to come on the scene sooner than later.

  3. People are somewhat slow to take up mobile applications for shopping. There are a lot of security concerns still.
