AR and VR Statistics have shown that AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality) technology is rising. The VR market is expected to reach more than $12 billion by 2024. In the next few years, the VR and AR technology industry aims to make designs increasingly smaller and more fashionable. Among other things, the technology is already being implemented in healthcare, educational and manufacturing settings. But for Gen Z consumers, this trend in retail has also been increasing. Online shopping is at an all-time high. In 2020, over 2 billion people made a purchase online. In response, retailers are looking for ways to digitalism the retail experience. Studies suggest that VR and AR can be used to encourage consumers to make digital purchases. It can help build trust, improve the customer experience and reduce digital purchasing reluctance.
