The Age of Virtual Shopping
In the current digital age, we are seeing digital advancements being brought to life and being used in everyday life including virtual reality, augmented reality, smart devices, virtual payment systems and even self-driving cars. Each passing day we are moving towards a more digital world. The rise of digital advancements is now being brought into the way we shop.
In the past few years, we have seen many brands incorporating new digital methods to interact with their customers. In 2016, Specsavers launched an app to find the perfect pair of glasses for your face shape and styles. The was seen as a 'virtual try on' or 'virtual mirror' that easily one over many of its loyal and new customers.
In 2020 Amazon launched 'Amazon Go'. The first checkout-less store that allowed you to shop and walk out without physically paying. The new advancement meant you could walk in, scan a QR code, shop as usual and walk back out once finished. Computer Vision Technology is used to capture the products you pick up and put in your bag and leave without queuing. You are then sent an email receipt of your purchases and charge.
The advanced strides in digital technology in the last couple of years are a clear indication that we will see a number of virtual features being introduced in our daily lives before we know it.
So, if you can’t beat them, join them and that's exactly what we are doing!
