Try to imagine what kind of shopping experience will it be when you walk into the Supermarket of the Future to buy some organic agricultural products. If you want to know all the contexts of the fruits or vegetables, you don’t have to ask for the clerks and search the internet but pick up the products, look at the display screens on the cabinets. By doing this, you can know how far they are from, what potential allergens they have, and even the touching stories of those backbreaking farmers behind the fruit. Shopping not only represents a simple movement such as buying, but also purchases a story of the products and makes a friend with the farmers.
The Supermarket of the Future
In the upcoming Cloud Marketplace of October 2018, the natural shopping experience is merely a tiny portion of it. The Cloud Marketplace plans to introduce intelligent perceived interactivity cabinets, indoor micro-positioning guide APP, interactive games of big screens, and other novel technologies in order to build a park of clicks and mortar. Once travelers arrive at the physical marketplace, they can recognize the image of Yunlin’s assured agriculture. Before entering the exhibition, they can play games with the TV walls, and download the APP to receive coupons. Then entering the exhibition, travelers can put their hands close to these organic agricultural products, look at the food safety traceability on the screen, and even participate in special promotions by the APP. These experiences bring an agricultural tour with high-tech feeling for travelers.
