"Tech questions for 2022" by @benedictevans may actually provide the answer to #digitalDisruption | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

From www.ben-evans.com - January 10, 2022 6:35 PM

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: this list of technology questions for 2022 feels like an answer to the question "what is digital disruption?".

We have reached a moment in time where old technologies - eCommerce or videoconferencing for example - are finally breaking into established industries. And the impact, at scale, cannot be found in technology but rather in every single industry it disrupts.

Very thoughtful piece, very good questions.

This post summarizes what I think about when I refer to #digitalTransformation: What comes after smartphones? via @BenedictEvans | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

From www.ben-evans.com - January 4, 2021 1:29 PM

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: this post is a bit theoretical for someone not bathing in digital transformation all day as I do (mostly). It explores what could come next but more importantly stresses an important fact: we now have a new platform - the mobile phone - in our pockets that has the potential to transform our world. We have started to see this with eCommerce - physical retail stores become irrelevant and we can price compare from anywhere - but we have yet to see the real impact of eCommerce+mobile+cloud+5G. THIS is what I think about most days...

From techcrunch.com - October 21, 2020 11:14 AM

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: 2 elements we can highlight from this announcement.

1- AR is often a marketing gimmick with no real purpose. Why would you download install and use this app? Same goes for most AR apps out there...

2- eCommerce has a major downside from a sustainability standpoint because of transport, returns, over packaging, plastics, etc. As volume grows this must be addressed. This AR app will not help in any way. Unfortunately...

Amazon rolls out AR lipstick try-ons via L'Oréal's ModiFace - Could it be that #AR killerApp is more about enhancing other apps than being an app on its own... #retail #ecommerce | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

From www.retaildive.com - July 13, 2019 7:32 AM

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: always in search of the killer app, looks like AR is actually something that you embed into something else (here to sample lipstick in Amazon retail, there to correct the eyes in Apple facetime) rather than something you do on its own (think pokemon GO). Hmmm...

Augmented Reality In Retail may actually prove to be useful - The Incredible Case Of Tenth Street Hats #AR | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

From www.forbes.com - March 28, 2019 8:00 AM

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: using AR to visualize how you look in a hat is possible. The article provides links and other retail use cases where AR may prove useful. I tried it out and found it a bit on the gadget side but - no app to install and very simple use made it easy to try it out. Looks promising, especially combined with AI where it could "suggest" hats based on your outfit. This may prove a useful business case...

Amazon Showroom lets you customize furniture in a virtual living room is an attack on the retail store #showroom & provides new twist on the use of #AR #VR by IKEA, Wayfair Google Apple and Canadia... | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

From www.cnet.com - March 1, 2019 6:53 AM

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: sales of furniture online is difficult because it is difficult to visualize the product in your environment. At least in the store you can view the product in a fake setting (think IKEA rooms you have to travel through during your shopping trip). Augmented Reality has been tried to enhance paper catalogues in the past but now Amazon is trying to leverage 3D directly within their online store to help you decide if that table and sofa go well together. This is obviously a test and the links below should provide you with additional food for thought on the matter.
