Virtual Reality - good for something else than games?

More and more people are shopping online to get out of the hassle of queues and getting to and from the store. Services around online shopping are greatly improving. However, the shopping experience online is not as good as in the store. It is easy to shop for a thing online when you know what you are looking for, but what if you are only browsing and buying more on impulse? Wouldn’t it be great if you could be in a store but still be at home?

In the last couple of years, Virtual Reality technology has really started to bloom. We are still in the process of discovering exactly what VR could be used for. Could shopping in Virtual Reality be the solution to the problem?

In this thesis project you will look into how customers would feel shopping in a Virtual Reality environment. You will analyze what problems and requirements a shopper might have while shopping, and determine if Virtual Reality will be able to solve them. Simulate the online store at the shoppers convenience. Would it improve the experience or just be a hassle? What would be needed to create the ultimate Virtual Reality shopping experience?

• You see the potential of Virtual Technology
• You love shopping
• You like working with use case-oriented problems
