NRF 2024: Top 5 Augmented Reality Use Cases in Retail
As recently reported by Yahoo Finance, shoppers are surprising some experts by returning in sizable numbers to brick-and-mortar stores. But when they visit those stores today, they are bringing with them new expectations: Online shopping has evolved rapidly in recent years, and today's retail customer expects the same kind of convenient and technologically enhanced experience in person.
Augmented reality allows retailers to offer customers a shopping experience greatly enhanced by digital capabilities.
