V-commerce

Contents

Virtual commerce (V-commerce) is an eCommerce term that refers to the buying and selling of products with the help of virtual and AR technology. Basically, it's enabling customers to purchase products in virtual reality.

What is V commerce?

As you know, V commerce, which also stands for virtual commerce (or voice commerce), is a process that encourages shoppers to do shopping smartly and smart devices to conduct trade online using virtual and AR technology. An immersive technology that allows shoppers to interact with stores in a virtual world.

The main aim of v-commerce is to make an easy buying process and provide an alternative to using a keyboard and a mouse to order and buy products online.

In v commerce, virtual trial rooms show how an item would look to customers without actually needing to try on the item.

With the help of technology like voice commerce, completing an order becomes faster and can be accomplished at any time throughout the day, if your device can hear your voice command.

If implemented properly, the potential for v-commerce, in particular with products is huge. V-Commerce includes interaction with a virtual eCommerce store or connected to the internet.
