Project Planning, Strategy, Our Process

• Concept Development & Feasibility Study

We began with understanding the client’s needs and gathering insights on their business objectives. Our team researched the supermarket industry and analyzed consumer shopping behaviors to design an interactive Virtual Reality Supermarket solution that catered to both user needs and business goals.

• VR Environment Design

We designed the entire virtual supermarket layout in 3D, ensuring it reflected the client’s actual store, from aisles to product displays. This step involved detailed modeling and realistic texturing to create an immersive, lifelike shopping environment.

• Interactive Features Integration

We implemented interactive functionalities such as navigation tools, product filters, and an intuitive virtual shopping cart. Users could click on products to view more information, interact with different sections, and experience 3D product demonstrations.

• Cross-Platform Compatibility

The project team worked on optimizing the VR experience for both VR headsets and mobile devices, ensuring it could be accessed by a wide range of customers, whether they were using high-end VR hardware or smartphones.

• Real-Time Inventory Sync

We integrated the Virtual Reality Supermarket with the client’s live inventory system, ensuring that product availability, pricing, and stock updates were reflected in real-time.

• Testing & User Feedback

Before final delivery, we conducted rigorous testing on various devices and gathered user feedback. This iterative process helped us fine-tune the user interface and resolve any performance issues. Visit Our Partner Site
