Stores Attract Shoppers With Technology

In-store displays are becoming quite an attraction
Some storeowners think shopping should be more fun and convenient. That's way they're introducing high-tech displays in their stores.
Wall of virtual shoes
Some Adidas stores now feature adiVERSE-the Virtual Footwear Wall. The wall is actually a huge touch-screen panel with 3-D images of Adidas shoes.
Shoppers can select from nearly 8,000 pairs of Adidas shoes. That's more than any store can hold!
Interactive makeup area
Macy's has added Beauty Spot, and interactive station, to a few of its department stores. By touching the screen, shoppers can learn about every makeup brand in the store. After choosing items, shoppers print out their orders and buy them.
Grocery store robots
Shoppers who visit the real - Future Store in Tonisvorst, Germany, can meet Ally and Roger. Both robots, called "innovation Guides," have cameras for eyes and can roll around the store. They explain the store's technology to shoppers and guide them around the store.
With high-tech attractions like these, stores will keep shoppers coming back for more.
