Amazon Prime Day is a highly anticipated global shopping event that exclusively gives members access to deep discounts over the course of a day and a half—and to make the e-shopping experience all the more enticing this year, Amazon set up 10 virtual reality kiosks in various shopping malls.
Inside the fantastical VR world, people are invited into a virtual reality store on a hot air balloon, where they have the chance to view and virtually get their hands on a number of products. Big and small, the assortment included everything from smartphones to large-scale home appliances like refrigerators.
