I. Introduction.
With the rapid development of science and technology, virtual reality (VR) technology has changed from a science fiction concept to a practical application in real life. In the retail industry, especially in the field of community** new retail, the application of virtual reality technology has great potential, which is expected to reshape the shopping experience of consumers and the operation model of merchants.
2. Overview of virtual reality technology.
Virtual reality technology is a computer system that can create and experience virtual worlds. By simulating multiple sensory inputs such as sight, hearing, and touch, users can create an immersive feeling in a virtual environment. This immersive experience has enabled virtual reality technology to be widely used in many fields such as gaming, education, medical care, and entertainment.
3. The application status of virtual reality technology in the new retail of the community.
1.Virtual shopping experience: Through VR technology, consumers can experience a real shopping environment at home, such as supermarkets, shopping malls, etc. They are free to browse products, view detailed information, and even try them on and try them on in a virtual environment.
2.Product display and demonstration: Merchants can display the 3D model of the product to consumers through VR technology, so that consumers can understand the product from all angles. For complex products, it is also possible to demonstrate the operation through VR to improve consumers' understanding and purchase intention.
3.Marketing Campaigns & Events: VR technology can also be used to host a variety of marketing campaigns and events. For example, merchants can create virtual events that allow consumers to participate in a virtual environment, enhancing the fun and interactivity of shopping.
Fourth, the future application prospect of virtual reality technology in the new retail of the community.
