VMBeacon is an app that uses similar software to the iBeacon app, but this time for shopping purposes. The app connects to smartphones, allowing people to find more information about the clothes on mannequins in various stores.
Many times people walk into a shop because they like what they see in the storefront. With VMBeacon, people can find out exactly what products are being displayed here, what they look good with and even where they can find the items in the store. For anyone who becomes slightly overwhelmed when walking into a shop, this app is ideal to ease a few anxieties and receive guidance in the right direction (although it might not be the best for your wallet)!
