Comment on Unity launches Walmart SDK to "seamlessly integrate products" into games
dev_null@lemmy.ml 1 day agoA high quality VR store where I can actually physically browse the isles would be superior to trying to browse a 2D website. And being able to pick up a product, with a realistic 3D model, look at it from any angle and visually compare packaging sizes across brands - like I can in a real store but can’t on a website - would be nice.
I can’t tell you how many times I accidentally ordered a too small or too big version of something, because product photos on websites are always the same size (just fill the frame).

One time, I got delivered teaspoons instead of spoons, because I couldn’t tell the difference from the picture (and the description did not bother mentionuing that at all).
Another time, I got delivered light bulbs the size of a toddler’s head, because the manufacturer decided to use a picture of a regular-size bulb. Well, and in the online store, the size only got mentioned as actual width/height values in the details.
But yeah, we do already have the technology to place a banana next to your product, and to take photos from all angles. Manufacturers and stores just don’t see enough of a benefit from actually doing that, so have a singular picture in a white void, which shows a different product. You’re welcome! 👍
