Building the Next Gen Retail Experience

Our aim is to build a digital asset that could end up becoming a possible component in digital transformation for the retail industry, blurring the boundaries between the physical and digital world.
The opportunity area that we went on to exploit was the ‘in-store style recommendations’ space for building a digital mirror. This is a simple mirror with a few hardware components that can enhance a customer's retail experience.

Does any of the following excite you? We will be talking about :
* Beacons, NFCs Sparks and other cool IoT components
* Kinect, and the support that Microsoft provides for it
* Neo4J, React, Selenium weaving it all together
