“…A "smart" retail setting can be a beneficial way for a firm to generate greater customer and business value (Pantano and Timmermans, 2014). One "smart" approach that is increasingly recognised as having potential to create value for customers and retailers alike is the use of augmented reality (Pantano, 2014;Huang and Liu, 2014) in smart retail environments (Di Rienzo, Garzotto, Cremonesi, Fra and Valla, 2015). Augmented reality is a smart technology that adds value to retailers by being able to influence customer engagement (Pantano, 2009) as well as purchasing decisions (Pantano, 2014) and can be varyingly used in-store and outof-store including at home (Valkynnen, Boyer, Urhemaa, and Nieminen, 2011).…”

“…Di Rienzo et al (2015) propose a model for showing userpersonalized product information on public displays through interaction of mobile devices with proximity sensors such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons and Kinect. Alt et al (2013) compare touch and mobile-device interaction to develop a digital bulletin board.…”

Automatic, Gestural, Voice, Positional, or Cross-Device Interaction? Comparing Interaction Methods to Indicate Topics of Interest to Public Displays

Most public and semi-public displays show content that is not related to people passing by. As a result, most passersby completely ignore the displays. One solution to this problem is to give viewers the means to interact explicitly with such displays to convey their interests and thus receive content relevant to them. However, which method of interaction is most appropriate for gathering information on viewers' interests is still an open question. To identify methods appropriate for indicating topics of interest to public displays, we identified a range of dimensions to be considered when setting up public displays. We report a single-user and a multiuser study that use these dimensions to measure the effects of automatic, gestural, voice, positional, and cross-device interest indication methods. Our results enable us to establish guidelines for practitioners and researchers for selecting the most suitable interest indication method for a given scenario. Our results showed that cross-device and automatic methods strongly retain users' privacy. Gestural and positional methods were reported to be a fun experience. However, the gestural method performed better in the single-user study than in the multiuser study in all dimensions.

“…An AR‐based smart retail system has been proposed; here, the user is guided based on the product location and the route toward the product in the store, using deep learning. An interactive smart retail system has been discussed . A machine‐readable image and a user gesture–based retail system have been discussed .…”

“…An augmented reality (AR)–based smart retail system has been proposed . An interactive smart retail system has been also discussed . Although research studies have focused on smart city, smart room, smart health, etc, with energy efficiency, the design of green and smart retail systems has not yet been largely explored.…”

Energy-efficient smart retail system design is a challenging research area. In this paper, we propose an automated retail system using a femtolet-based fog network. A femtolet is an indoor base station providing computation and storage. Femtolets in our system work as indoor base stations and maintain databases of the products located in their respective coverage areas. The femtolets switch to active or idle mode according to the user's presence in its coverage. A smart trolley is proposed for our retailing system, which guides the user to the particular product type selected by the user. The user, after entering the shopping mall, carries the smart trolley. The customer selects and purchases products using this trolley. On the basis of product purchasing, the respective databases maintained inside the femtolets are updated. An Android application for the proposed retailing is developed. We compare the power consumption and delay of the proposed retail system with the existing retail system. Simulation analyses illustrate that the proposed approach reduces power by approximately 89% and 94%, respectively, in comparison to the local cloud server-based and remote cloud server-based retail systems. Thus, we refer to the proposed system as a green retail system. The performance of the proposed system through experimental analysis is also evaluated.
