Just fantasizing about technology a bit today… Consider the following trends:
1.) The internet is coming to our TV’s.
2.) TV’s are getting 3-dimensional displays.
3.) Gesture control technology is becoming a useful interface.
Put those three together and what becomes possible? Well, lots of things, but one of them would be an entirely new e-commerce experience.
Picture mom shopping for shoes online. She is sitting on the couch in front of your 65″ television looking at the latest shoe styles. Except, the shoes are not just flat images. They are visually popping out of the screen thanks to 3D imaging. Ands mom doesn’t need a mouse or a remote or a keyboard. With gesture controls, she is rotating the shoes so that she can see them from different angles and really get a feel for them, or waving past them to get to the next product, or adding them to her shopping cart for purchase…
Wild.
It’s probably a bit early to start building this sort of thing now, but…
