Abstract: An on-line method of facilitating e-commerce sales of circular adornments (such as watches, bracelets, etc.) through the provision of selectable representations of such an adornment in its primary dimensions is provided. Such representations are generated in relation to specific adornment structures and are provided, in terms of three-dimensional polymer printed articles. A purchaser is allowed to select a specific adornment from an on-line source, and print a single part or multiple parts thereof in the form of a reliable representation of the subject article. The purchaser may then place the representation on his or her wrist, ankle, arm, etc., in order to gauge and assess the look, placement, and size thereof, in accordance with his or her own tastes and needs. Such an on-line system allows for reductions in returns and greater reliability in terms of actual purchases up front. The actual generated printed representations are encompassed herein as well.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a display, interface, and processor. The interface receives video from a camera located in a physical store and directed at a first physical rack. The camera captures video of the rack during a shopping session. The processor displays a first virtual rack that emulates the first physical rack and includes first and second virtual shelves. The virtual shelves include virtual items, which include graphical representations of physical items located on the physical rack. The processor displays the rack video, which depicts an event including the person interacting with the first physical rack. The processor also displays a virtual shopping cart. The processor receives information associated with the event, identifying the first virtual item. The rack video depicts that the person selected the first physical item while interacting with the first physical rack. The processor then stores the first virtual item in the virtual shopping cart.
