Application of AR technology in electronics retail business in Hanoi

Abstract

This paper explores the integration of augmented reality (AR) in the electronics retail sector, focusing on its applications, benefits, and potential in the context of Hanoi’s retail industry. It begins by defining AR and reviewing its applications relevant to the electronics retail sector, followed by an analysis of its value to both retailers and customers. Through a comprehensive synthesis of existing AR research and its applications in retail, the study proposes actionable solutions tailored to the electronics retail business. Theoretical foundations of the electronics retail sector and its interplay with AR are examined, culminating in the identification of specific benefits AR offers to customers and retailers. By addressing a relatively novel yet rapidly evolving topic, this study provides valuable insights for researchers and industry practitioners, highlighting opportunities for further exploration and practical implementation in Hanoi’s retail landscape.
