While robotic sales people may still be a while off, a virtual salesperson through augmented reality (AR) is already a possibility. AR can be used to provide information on the product and brand. The AR experience often requires the the customer to pick up the physical product and hold in front of a screen. A smart move - considering getting your product in your customer's hands is often the first step of selling in retail!

Jason Pearson of 42Below told Stoppress that they wanted to to use augmented reality to create something different and useful. Pearson explained that the main function was to explain the products while providing some suggestions on ideal mixes.
