The Shopping Experience of Tomorrow: Human-Centered and Resource-Adaptive

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Cognitive Technologies ((COGTECH))

Abstract

What would the shopping experience of tomorrow look like? In this chapter we propose several human-centered and resource-adaptive ideas to this question. Throughout the whole chapter we explain our ideas with the recurrent theme of a shop that consists of instrumented shelves, public displays, audio systems, and mobile devices for each user.
