What kind of effects will virtual reality have on shopping?

Oculus Rift may have started off as a gaming-centric virtual reality headset but Facebook’s acquisition of the headset’s creators has opened it up to even more possibilities. One of these possibilities could be virtual shopping as a recent poll has shown that two thirds of all consumers would like to at least try a virtual reality shopping experience using an Oculus system. In fact many said they would be more likely to shop online if there was a virtual reality option.
