In addition to the numerous other tech features, Walmart said it is developing virtual commerce, meaning shoppers can buy physical items within a virtual environment. The retailer has tested its capability within the online game House Flip, but it aims to connect its virtual reality commerce capability to its stores.
“We’re constantly searching for ways to innovate and use emerging tech to make shopping easier and meet the needs of our customers. We’ll continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible. And as we do, we will always keep our customers at the center,” the company noted in its statement.
