AR, VR, & 3D: Changing The Way We Shop

Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality are no longer the stuff of science fiction. Apple and Google's mobile operating systems already ship with software components to support AR, hardware prices for VR are rapidly dropping, and the industry is expanding.

VR, AR, and 3D is already here and even in use today by merchants on the bleeding edge of technology.

Soon 3D and virtual reality could be seamlessly embedded into your Shopify store.
