Technical products and products that are not so visually but very convincing in the technical field, for these products it is not easy to use an online store as a good sales portal. Selling products that are not self-explanatory over the Internet is a challenge in this day and age. Our task in this project was to find a solution to offer customers a solution to explore such technical products in an online experience. The ability to build a virtual showroom into an online store, release it in real-time, and make it an immersive and virtual experience would create that opportunity and reinvent the sale of very technical and complex products.
In practice, we have developed an interface that can be accessed from our digital showroom, with a script to push and pull data. So, one can imagine user A sitting in Australia looking at our client's products in an online digital showroom. Salesperson B can connect with Customer A and experience what Customer A is seeing in real-time in an immersive showroom in Switzerland and explain it in more detail via a phone call or other means as seen in Figure 1 Sketch from scenario. From a technical perspective, here is what happens. While Customer A is looking around the digital showroom, data from the Unity showroom hidden behind it is pushed to our interface. This is data such as camera position, viewing angle, and more. Vendor B or the immersive showroom now fetches the data pushed 2 by customer A in real time and now moves the first-person viewer to the same position and aims the camera at the same angle.
