The Showroom Without the Shopping

Shopping habits are changing. Mobile purchasing is the future. Brick-and-mortar retail is dead. We’ve all heard these stories—but they don’t give the full picture. In an increasingly digital world, people still crave the experiential element of shopping. Enter augmented reality. In this episode, we explore the groundbreaking technologies and hear from an investment expert on what she is watching in the retail sector—technologies that might just save brick-and-mortar shopping. This is The Future According to Now, a podcast from Atlantic Re:think, the branded content studio at The Atlantic, and Fidelity Investments, with production support from At Will Media.
