Physical Virtual
Providing both an augmented reality and tangible experience in one
Implications - According to Forrester Research, Inc., online shopping in the United States will increase to $327 billion by the year 2016. This is no small number, but while online shopping is convenient, one thing shoppers don't get is a semblance of physicality -- a tangible store experience -- which may make online shopping a less pleasurable experience. However, bridging the gap between the physical retail store and the completely virtual shop are "stores" that provide a physical environment but virtual, or augmented reality, goods. This combination of virtual and physical works to satiate the appetite for virtuality while at the same time providing the comforting aspects of a physical environment.
