Hand News from: USA
Biometric fingerprint payment, interactive dressing room assistance and intelligent shopping trolleys could depart the realms of science fiction for the real world, as new technologies look set to revolutionise the way we shop. 60 per cent of consumers across the globe believe that they will be able to pay for purchases using just their fingerprint by 2015 - with this innovation rated top by the greatest proportion of people questioned. The UK is most in favour of this shopping solution - with 31 per cent giving it the top vote. |

In TNS's New Future In Store study a confident 73 per cent of shoppers said that they expect to be using interactive touch-screens in dressing rooms to communicate with sales assistants by 2015, whilst half expect that 3D body scanning and interactive dressing room mirrors will eliminate the stresses of trying on that new skirt. Interestingly, as with fashion, shopping priorities change dramatically between countries. Whilst Chinese consumers' rate the concept of an in-store holographic sales assistant far above other countries (named as first choice by 59 per cent compared to an average of 23 per cent), German shoppers are far more concerned about having a body scan to help their clothes to fit. |
