It’ll get more customized, more interactive, more like shopping online. One walk around the National Retail Federation’s annual Big Show and it seems shopping, inside a real store, is about to change. 

This is part of the supermarket of the future. Imagine supermarket aisles lined with Xbox One Kinect cameras and sensors: you just point at what you want to learn everything you would ever want to know about it.

“You can see the storytelling in the video, about the ingredients, the factory where it’s produced, all the specifications about that,” says Fabio Chiodini of Avanade. “We can also suggest any combination of products."

The next step in home improvement could quite possibly include this Capgemini 3D Remodeling Configurator. You put on a virtual reality headset and then virtually remodel your new kitchen.

“In the physical space you have these little modules, these little furniture and as soon as you put it on the surface the software recognizes it and you can move around the little modules until you’re happy with the kitchen configuration,” says Genevieve Chamard of Capgemini.

Customization is also coming to clothing. Imagine never again having to take an item off the shelf and into the dressing room to see how it fits.

New tech advances will allow you to quickly take measurements, whether it’s your feet or your torso, and then forever know exactly which sizes of any brand will fit you perfectly.

“Intel has a basic capability called RealSense which enables us to do a 3D image scan,” says Michelle Tinsley of Intel. “In this case, we’re using it in two different ways. One is to get a better idea of the foot and do a 3D model so we have the RealSense-based platform from Volumental that’s doing that for Nordstroms. In the Brooks Brothers instance, we’re taking out the friction of buying custom fitted shirts. It is now just two pictures and you’re done."

The bigger benefit to this one, buying clothes via their websites and knowing for sure when the package arrives everything inside will fit.
