We’ve noted that VR has the potential to impact many industries beyond gaming, and now eBay used the tech to launch the world’s first virtual reality department store. In partnership with Australian retailer Myer, they’ve created a virtual store app that allows users to browse and buy Myer products in a virtual space. Shoppers can hold their gaze at an item to choose it for their cart, while an algorithm tracks activity to adapt and display items that might be of interest to users. (Mashable)
