Virtual reality seems to be a bit slow out of the gate , but all the technologies were in that stage in the past . When smartphones came out , people were hesitant to buy because there was no historical data to prove their functionality and usage . It ’ s just over time people got used to smartphones . As soon as we knew they behaved as was advertised , however , we were very quick to surrender our chunky flip phones and hop on the touchscreen train .
Using Aurigozoom , customers get a personalized shopping experience that brings the instore experience to them no matter where they are . Items can be added to cart and customers are shown a series of
recommended products , creating a personal and effective shopping experience . They can also view open houses and have virtual experience of house .
The next question in everyone ’ s mind is , “ How is this any different than shopping on a mobile device or a computer ?” This a good question , the answer with one word is , discovery . With Aurigozoom , customers are given the opportunity to experience the products from every angle they can move , rotate , and zoom in on them however they choose . Aurigozoom will also make a mark with virtual house hunting ; customers can have a virtual tour of the house without the hassle of open house visits .
