Within this space we can start building the experience by adding various features to your buyers’ journey, enabling interaction, communication, and analytics. The aim is to bring that physical shopping experience into a virtual world and enhancing it by providing access to more product information and a more personalised shopping experience through the use of this technology.
Imagine this! Your customer arrives at your virtual store and prior to entering is greeted with an amazing 3D animated presentation showcasing your latest products or services, just like the amazing window displays at flagship stores on the high street.
On entry to your virtual 360 retail environment, they are greeted by a virtual assistant welcoming them and explaining to them about the retail space and how to shop within it.
Once they are in the space, they get the opportunity to explore products and brand stories, see advertisements and promotions, all in an interactive and immersive way. They may see animated posters advertising your latest promotions, pop up 360 product viewers allowing them to view and rotate your products in full 360, or large format screens telling your brand stories, complemented by the ability to chat with a live online sales advisor whenever they need to. The possibilities are endless.
Add pre-recorded green screen presenters into your immersive retail experiences. They can be stationed in various areas of your store to help sell or present to your customers key features of your products or services. There is also the option to create CGI models of presenters which may resemble humans or even avatar style characters.
We can create 3D Models of your products either from your CAD data or with photogrammetry. This will allow you to display your products in your retail space, just as you would do in a physical location.
Using the 3D Models of your products, we can create pop up 360 Product viewers so that your customers can explore them in full 360 by panning around them. You can also add interactive elements to the product viewer with hotspots showing images, information, or video about the product, supported by an option to buy.
If you have a product that can be configured then we can create a product configurator allowing your customer to customize the style, build or look of your product prior to purchasing.
Enhance your customers buying experience with an augmented reality application enabling them to interact with your product in real-time. We can create a bespoke application according to your requirements whether it be trying on a pair of glasses, a new watch or the latest fashion, the opportunities are endless.
By having the ability to add 3D animation to your immersive retail experiences, you can create really engaging promotional content of any type. You may want an animated display for a new product launch, a holographic product rotating from the ceiling, or animated activity to deepen the experience of your customer. The beauty of CGI animation is that ‘nothing is impossible’ to create.
If you need to provide your customer with detailed information then you can add downloadable brochures and factsheets, pop up info boxes, external links to third party websites or literally any other type of cloud hosted information in almost any format you require.
We can add controllable or auto-play video into your scene allowing you to present your product or brand stories right at the point that you need them. Whether you want to have a detailed video describing your product at the point where it is displayed or a large video wall celebrating a certain themed event, the choice is yours.
If you require data or graphics to strengthen your product sales or complement your brand stories, then these can be accommodated in image or animation form, pre-rendered or in real-time by building in the ability for your virtual space to incorporate third party API’s.
Give you the ability to bring external web content into your retail environment. This is very useful if you have an existing ecommerce site that you wish to incorporate into your experience, you can give your customer the ability to view product pages or even checkout without them having to leave the virtual retail environment.
To add to the personalized experience you can add various communication elements to your space, whether it be a chat bot, live chat, an exclusive curated guided tour of your store or even live webcasted promo events.
The navigation of the immersive retail experiences will depend on the size of the scenes and your specific requirements, from traditional hotspots for smaller spaces, to click and go navigation for larger spaces. The experiences can also be created within a first-person game engine environment if you require that level of depth.
