Visitors can walk around and appreciate the stores in the shopping mall like a Google map, and when they look at the shelves, product images and prices are displayed on cards, and they can click to shop. You can’t try on clothes, but except for that, it’s like buying them on other sites.

It was an AI development company (Aibee) that provided the technology for this service. It can be automatically scanned across the virtual reality mapping robot 100~200m ² shopping malls within an hour and can be made through this service. In addition, payment can be made by reading the code sent by the clerk even within the virtual reality space, and it has a WeChat Pay payment function.
