6. The New Shopping Experience
Many e-commerce sites are now using 3-D product imaging to allow customers to feel as
though they're browsing through an actual rack of clothes, even going so far as to
incorporate music to simulate a traditional in-store shopping experience.
Cisco hinted at the possibility of things to come with their virtual dressing room concept
which as the name implies, would allow you to quickly and conveniently "try on" a wide
assortment of outfits while either in-store or while shopping online. Other companies are
even working on new technologies that that will mimic texture and roughness, hoping to
someday to allow shoppers to feel (albeit virtually) a product before making an online
purchase.
