The Virtual Supermarket

Woolworths has unveiled a virtual supermarket in Sydney which lets customers buy groceries with their mobile phone. The world’s very first virtual grocery store opened in Korea.

People who take the subway don't have to make an extra stop at a grocery store, people are not wasting time waiting for a subway to arrive.

The walls of Sydney's Town Hall Station are bedecked to resemble a Woolworth's supermarket shelf in Australia's first virtual supermarket, at Town Hall Station

Customers, in this case commuters, do not purchase any goods physically. Instead they view goods on display on the walls of the station, and then buy them using the Woolworths apps on their mobile device.

The simply scan the barcode with their smartphone and the item is placed in their online shopping cart. Woolworths then delivers the goods to their home for a delivery fee.

Shoppers can even schedule a later delivery. If you’ve purchased a product in the past and you simply want to order it again, you don’t have to physically visit the virtual store. You can just go into your smartphone app and order it via the product’s barcode.

Virtual shopping is believed to be the way of the future, and busy urban railways stations and arcades are ideal for them.The Woolworths virtual shopping trial is the latest manifestation of a move to use mobile devices interactively with billboards and display walls.
