Well in case if people are avoiding shopping online for a reason, that could certainly be the non availability of an option to surf in wide range of products and pick the best one to feel handy, yes that "feel" is missing.
"Tactile Sensation"
Definition as per wordnetweb: sensation produced by pressure receptors in the skin.Though virtual shopping is now a well known technology, the experience of shopping from Chennai with your friends from Mumbai, Singapore and Delhi by putting all you guys in an virtual mall and giving you freedom to observe wide range of products ?
That's awesome.
and
How about giving freedom for the shoppers to feel the material of the product ?
Like, how it would weigh while wearing ? How light the material is ? and How soft the silk is ?
If we can provide them this combo pack, I must say that would be a groundbreaking technology.
For sure, that technology gonna cost hell lot of money.
Accept or not, someday in calendar and some hours in clock, This technology would be achieved at any cost.
How about designing gadget like head belt to give feelings for your neurons about the touch of an imaginary object ? Having a database about all the physical feel of the objects and giving an option for the consumer to download them and feel through special made gadget ?
That must be awesome.
Well, if ask me to suggest such technology, I confess that I can only provide spark :D
Shopping by 2030, for sure it would be awesome and interesting if and only of the online websites provide as an opportunity to feel the wanna buy products.
The strong may or may not survive.
But the one, swift to either adapt self according to the changing environment or adapt the environment according to self can survive a lot better than what rest can.
By 2030, in case if you and me survive, lets see whether we can feel the touch of an object before placing the order or NOT !!!!
