迪拜推出虚拟超商

迪拜的通勤上班族有福了！  等车时可以在地铁站新设的虚拟超商购物。  

迪拜地铁站新安装了虚拟超商。  第一个啟用的虚拟超商设在MalloftheEmirates地铁站。这互动式购物银幕是Etisalat和RTA共同合作的项目。Trolley.ae提供顾客3D立体顾物经验，顾客可以通过银幕于商家互动，立马下单。

虽然外型型似自动贩卖机，但是虚拟超商更似公共场所的网上顾物平台。若不想提沉重的购物袋搭地铁，付费后，商家会直接联系顾客以安排合適的送货时间和地点。

MallofEmirates的虚拟超商是中东第一家虚拟超商。  首席執行官欧玛阿威德强调这项服务符合迪拜快速的生活节奏和高科技的发展。  利用3.5x2米的控触银幕，通勤者可以在虚拟货架上挑货，然后结帐。也可以使用公司的网站

或是苹果公司和安卓系统上免费的手机应用程式。

这新项目计划在六个地点推动。  五个地铁站会在之后几个月陆续设立，包括DubaiInternetCity,DubaiMarina,FinancialCenter,ADCB和BaniyasSquare。
