Virtual Reality is considered to be the technology that will be used very extensively. The paper discusses the idea of the implementation of virtual reality in E-commerce. The shopper can virtually walk through the aisles of the store, stop and examine an item. The photos, textual information, support this examination process, and audio clips that describe the item. Depending on the photos' completeness, the shopper can virtually touch and examine the merchandise from all angles, and the order can be placed into the shopping cart. The paper is an effort to give the customer a more realworld shopping experience without going outside. It also makes shopping online more attractive and reliable. The user can have the store experience by looking for the items from the isles and have a better experience in evaluating the items by having the ability to pick them up like in actual stores.

With the proliferation of large screen stereo display systems, major consumer product manufacturers are using this technology to test marketing ideas on consumers. One of the performance factors that is of interest to retailers or manufacturers of retail products is the ability of consumers to quickly and easily locate their products within a retail store. Virtual reality technology can be used to create a virtual store that is easily reconfigurable as a test environment for consumer feedback. The research presented in this paper involves a study that compares the use of a multi-wall immersive environment to a single-wall immersive environment. Users were given a list of products to find in the virtual store. A physical mockup of a shopping cart was created and instrumented in order to be used to navigate throughout the virtual store. The findings indicate that participants in the fivewall immersive environment were significantly faster in locating the objects than the participants using the one-wall immersive environment. In addition, participants in the five-wall condition reported that the shopping cart was easier to use than in the one-wall condition. This study indicates that the use of multiple walls to provide an increased sense of immersion improves the ability of consumers to locate items within a virtual shopping experience.

Augmented reality as a technology is itself quite a new trend in the Tech world and the integration of this technology with the Ecommerce sector is a relatively less explored field. Currently, our Ecommerce sector is not capable of providing a virtual experience to the customers but with the help of Augmented Reality, we can eliminate this problem and elevate the user experience by creating a completely new way for users to interact with the Ecommerce websites. The next revolution in the Ecommerce sector will be with the help of Augmented Reality (AR) technology as more and more customers would want a shopping experience that is tailored to their personal preferences and AR is one such technology that is capable of providing such experience to the customers. In this work we have explored how augmented reality when fused with the Ecommerce sector will affect the new age shoppers, for studying this we have created an Ecommerce web application with augmented reality features, this web ...

The pandemic has shifted people's shopping behavior towards online resources. Mobile screen-based panoramic virtual reality (VR) appears to be a promising form for future online shopping. However, the existing user interface (UI) design of panoramic VR shopping needs more natural interactions based on a rational standard design guideline. In this article, we first conducted a heuristic study to compare six representative virtual store apps. This revealed a gap between users' requirements and the current design attempts. Thus, a UI design guideline for panoramic VR in the shopping scene was presented. Then, we conducted a verification study with a demo optimized according to our design guideline. Both user experience and interactive efficiency improved as a result of the design guideline. Our design guidelines and discoveries derived from user studies provided references for the design, development, and potential use of dynamic panoramic VR in shopping scene. CCS Concepts: • Human-centered computing → User studies; Virtual reality; User interface design.

The motivation for this research is the emergence of mobile information systems where information is disseminated to mobile individuals via handheld devices. A key distinction between mobile and desktop computing is the significance of the relationship between the spatial location of an individual and the spatial location associated with information accessed by that individual. Given a set of spatially referenced documents retrieved from a mobile information system, this set can be presented using alternative interfaces of which two presently dominate: textual lists and graphical two-dimensional maps. The purpose of this paper is to explore how mixed reality interfaces can be used for the presentation of information on mobile devices.

Mixed Reality (MR) refers to the general case of combining images along a continuum which ranges from purely real (unmodelled) data, such as raw video images, to completely virtual images, based on modelled environments. Depending on where a particular display mode lies on the reality-virtuality continuum, MR encompasses the case of Augmented Reality (AR), as well as the case of Augmented Virtuality (AV). In designing human-machine interfaces for mixed reality applications, a number of considerations are discussed which may potentially impact the effectiveness of the design. In addition to the real-virtual image content (which is closely related to how much knowledge is available about the images being displayed), these include the (visual) perceptual impact of the display technologies used for combining real and virtual images, which manifest themselves in particular when virtual objects must be aligned with real ones, for applications such as AR mediated teleoperation. Other considerations include where the user's particular viewpoint lies along a continuum ranging from ego-to exo-centricity, as well as control-display congruence issues constrained by the other MR factors.

Purpose-The COVID-19 virus outbreak began in December 2019 and rapidly spread to every continent on Earth. The analysts have predicted that COVID-19 and other similar pandemics will continue in the coming decade and badly affect offline businesses. As a result, the offline platform is also shifting to the online platform and online demands are increasing daily. The traditional two-dimensional E-Commerce websites are designed to provide simple, browser-based interfaces to allow users to access available products and services. Whilst virtual representations are an essential consideration in establishing trust, most virtual representation sites fall short in mimicking real-life human representation. This paper aims to focus on three-dimensional (3D) E-Commerce technology that presents how virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) can help deal with limitations and improve E-Commerce operations. It is built as an internet-only tool, a person-centred shopping assistant created following user-centred design principles to be used on various computing platforms, including desktop and mobile devices. The paper shows how VR and AR can offer more precise product information in 3D E-Commerce environments. The virtual store experience is also enhanced by an AR assistant that helps the users by giving them all the required information in audio form or using its avatar. Design/methodology/approach-Implementation of VR and AR in E-Commerce will increase customer satisfaction. Sub hypothesisto study the implementation of VR in E-Commerce. To study the implementation of AR in E-Commerce. To study the inclusion of E-Commerce sites in an openworld game. To study the customer satisfaction of users using VR stores. Findings-The scope of work is concentrated on the urban Indian market especially targeting the country's youth who are already or ready to indulge in VR such as video games, cinema and other activities (Mattsson and Barkman, 2019). This demography is more open to learning and using VR. The primary segment of E-Commerce that we are concentrating upon is fashion. Here, the regular user needs to have more immersed knowledge about the product rather than just the written information like how would they look in a dress or will the size available on the website fit me or not. Originality/value-A perfect system does not exist in the world. A terrible disease has landed on the planet. Very soon, it will be impossible to escape from this current situation. The effects of this plague have been felt in every sector of the world. The researchers also claim that physical stores will continue to exist. There will never be anything that replaces the ability to hold and use products or have personal face-to-face interactions with retail professionals. For the time being, brick-and-mortar retail is having a difficult time, but immersive technology is starting to be used to enhance the in-store experience. The good news is that this should help retailers increase their chances of survival. However, the melody of 3D E-Commerce is it would help out the in-store experience.
