  • Publication number: 20190172125
    Abstract: A system and method that permits consumers or potential consumers to visualize and test out products in real-time with broadcasting technology. The consumer can test out how the product works, see how a service would work for them, as questions or to discover more information from the seller. This permits the seller to provide extra value for their customers and to build rapport with consumers. The system and method also assists authorities to identify and curtail Internet scams. The scammer would be identified through the broadcasting or livestreaming. This will also help consumers to trust Internet sellers more because the seller has an incentive not to scam because their personal reputation would be at risk if they were to attempt it.
