24. Shopping in virtual reality: a study on consumers’ shopping experience in a stereoscopic virtual reality
Pegler(2001) defined visual shopping as product presentation that communicates product concepts with customers so as to entice them to buy from the store on a sustainable basis.
The objective is to find out how the characteristics/factors of applying the VR system in shopping process relate to consumers’ purchase intention.
Hypothesis:
The VR enhances consumer’s purchase
intention in apparel shopping.
The VR provides an interactive
shopping experience.
