Mirror Mirror on the Wall, What’s the Best Retail Tech of Them All?
Whether you enjoy it or not, shopping for apparel can be a complicated process. Sizes seem to change according to each store and maybe we’re not always the size we’d like to think we are. Once in the fitting room, going to get a new size can be tedious and shouting out for another size may be difficult or embarrassing. With the recent emergence of some pretty cool retail tech, the shopping experience just became alot more fun.

In retail tech, RFID-enabled smart fitting rooms identify all the items you brought into the area and display them on the mirror. Whenever you want to try another size or color, you can quickly, easily and discreetly request it directly from the mirror. A staff member will receive the request and the location of the requested item, so it can be brought to the fitting room immediately.
