Shoppers love to shop.
And when it comes to shopping for a dress, they wish to try on as many as possible before finalising the one/s to buy.
But trying on multitude of dress is extremely cumbersome & enervating experience.
Shoppers Stop realising this 'pain point' of its shoppers decided to leverage technology to reduce it.
It has launched an Augmented Reality based Dressing room.
This room contains a Magic Mirror in which a shopper can ‘view’ herself adorned in new dress along with the accessory - without having to physically try them on.
View the reference CISCO video below. (Disclosure: This may not the solution which Shopper’s Stop has implemented.)
