02 / Behind the film
What could a virtual storefront become?
In this archived talk, Gerald discusses how virtual environments could support product discovery, shared experiences and the sale of physical or digital goods. Examples include virtual shops, avatars, property tours and demonstrations of equipment that is difficult to transport.
The talk also explores the role of 3D scanning and AR in bringing products and people into digital experiences. Its longer-term predictions are presented as ideas to explore; a practical retail project still needs a clear audience, platform, content plan and approach to transactions.
