The service is primarily aimed at the elderly and citizens leading a sedentary lifestyle. It is unknown how long the tests will take.

How does it work

• According to the source, the seller is actually acting through the eyes of the buyer by providing this service.
• A store consultant wearing augmented reality glasses walks through the sales room, looking at the shelves and the image is broadcast to the customer’s device.
• Secondly, he needs to point his finger at the product he needs, then the store employee will see the corresponding sign from the glasses.
• At the same time, during virtual shopping, buyers can communicate with a consultant using voice communication.
• The assembled product set is then sent to the customer’s home.

The service started in test mode at the beginning of June and is available once a week. 13 people aged 60 and over used it for the first two weeks.

The smart glasses themselves were developed and released by Toppan in 2020. They were originally designed for older farmers who could direct the work of less experienced workers in their apple fields. Later, they decided to reuse the technology for other needs.
