DYNAMIC VIRTUAL REALITY SHOPPING SHELF INTERFACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17551151 titled 'DYNAMIC VIRTUAL REALITY SHOPPING SHELF INTERFACE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a computer implemented method for virtual reality shopping. Here are the bullet points explaining the patent/innovation:

  • The method involves using a virtual reality (VR) engine to create a VR user interface (UI) and a VR session within a VR device.
  • A list of discounted items, which are discounted based on their proximity to an expiration or best by use date, is received from an institution item source's computing device.
  • The VR UI displays a VR image of virtual items on virtual shelves.
  • The virtual items are dynamically displayed in different positions between two VR sessions.
  • Virtual representations of the discounted items are displayed in priority positions on the virtual shelves compared to other virtual items.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Virtual reality shopping experiences where users can browse and purchase items in a virtual environment.
  • Virtual reality grocery shopping where users can find discounted items based on their expiration or best by use date.
  • Virtual reality retail experiences where users can explore virtual shelves and find discounted products.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a more immersive and interactive shopping experience using virtual reality.
  • Helps users easily identify and locate discounted items based on their expiration or best by use date.
  • Allows for dynamic positioning of virtual items to create a realistic shopping environment.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhances the shopping experience by providing a virtual reality environment.
  • Helps users save money by easily finding discounted items.
  • Provides a convenient and efficient way to shop for groceries or other products.


Original Abstract Submitted

A computer implemented method for providing virtual reality shopping provides generating, by a virtual reality (VR) engine, a VR user interface (UI) and a VR session within a VR device. A list of discounted items being discounted based on proximity to an expiration or best by use date is received from the computing device of an institution item source. A VR image of virtual items on virtual shelves in the VR UI is displayed. The virtual items are dynamically displayed in different positions between a first VR session and a second VR session. Virtual representations of the discounted items being discounted are displayed in positions of priority on the virtual shelves, relative to other virtual items on the virtual shelves.
