Abstract: One example method is a method for a virtual shopping experience. The method includes connecting an app on a mobile device of a customer to a store hub associated with a virtual endless aisle, in response to an interaction of the customer with a product, emitting, by a smart shelf of the virtual endless aisle, an event, based on the event, transmitting, by the store hub to a display screen visible to the user, information concerning the product, displaying, by the display screen, a portion of the virtual endless aisle that includes the information concerning the product, detecting, by a camera associated with the virtual endless aisle, a product selection signal generated by the customer, and enabling, by the virtual endless aisle, the customer to purchase the product.

Abstract: A method for compressing and fusing sensor data. One example method includes collecting, by a sensor, data concerning an environment in which the sensor is located, compressing the data to generate compressed data, filtering the compressed data, fusing the compressed data with other data collected by another sensor to generate fused data, and transmitting and/or storing the fused data. The sensor may be a stereo camera, and the compressing may involve reducing a frame capture rate of the stereo camera.

Abstract: One example method includes using cameras to map a physical space, calibrating the cameras, based on movement of a human or other entity in the physical space, obtaining camera location and orientation information, creating, using a digital twin of the physical space and the camera location and orientation information, a virtual reality environment that includes virtual representations of the cameras that are located and oriented in the same way as in the physical space, collecting, from the virtual reality environment, data collected by the cameras, and processing the data.
