Augmented Product Counter

An augmented reality based product display counter that transforms any surface and object into interactive surfaces that blends digital media and information with physical space. This system enables shoppers to conduct research in store, learn about product features and talk to a virtual expert to get expert advice. The Augmented Product counter is based on the LuminAR technology, that can transform any standard product counter, enabling shoppers to get detailed information on products, access web to read unbiased reviews, compare pricing and conduct research while they play with the real products. The system also integrates video conferencing, enabling shopper to talk to an expert who may be located remotely to get additional advice. This system delivers an innovative in-store shopping experience that combines live product interactions of physical environments and vast amount of information available on web in an engaging and interactive manner.
