From: temerson@hitl.washington.edu Subject: APPS: Virtual Supermarket SAINSBURY TAKES LEAP INTO CYBERSPACE J Sainsbury, the grocery retailer, and a Salford company have developed a virtual reality supermarket - where shoppers can "walk" around a virtual store and "take" products from the shelves - which could pave the way to commercial virtual shopping services. Sainsbury and Intelligent Systems Solutions, the virtual reality specialists, which created the store, believe it is the most advanced virtual supermarket developed, although similar work is being done in the US.
