Marvel Virtual Store Share: Tonic3 Score Awaiting client review n/a Date Published 21 November 2023 Reading Time 4-Minute Read Marvel wanted an immersive virtual reality (VR) store to enhance the shopping experience for its fans. The Power of Immersive Experiences The heart of the modern shopping experience lies in the connection between consumers and products. Online shopping, while convenient, often lacks the personal touch and interaction found in brick-and-mortar stores. How do we redefine the notion of online shopping through immersive experiences that transcend screens and clicks? With Tonic3’s user-centric DNA, and extended reality (XR) skillset. Our online store is more than just an online catalog. It’s a place to explore, interact with products, and make informed choices. Imagine virtually stepping into a store, browsing shelves, picking up items, and interacting with a virtual salesperson. That’s the essence of what we’ve built – a user experience that bridges the gap between the digital and physical realms. To add the element of fun, we’ve introduced a treasure hunt game that sparks engagement, offering users the chance to unlock discounts, enhancing the potential for purchases, and driving up ROI. Studies have found that gamification can boost conversion rates by 7 times, making virtual shopping more appealing. Creating a Seamless User Experience The journey of crafting a virtual store isn’t just about technology; it’s about understanding user behavior, needs, and desires. Our process begins with a comprehensive discovery phase, followed by brainstorming sessions that capture the essence of what users seek. Storyboards, mockups, and prototypes bring the vision to life, allowing us to refine the experience before implementation. As part of our process, we tested various aspects before selecting the complexity and features of our solution. We used pre-made 360° panoramas to speed up the creative process while creating from scratch 3D architecture models. Our web VR platform combines creativity and efficiency, providing an engaging and personalized experience for customers.

Driving ROI Through Immersion Real-Time Data Most executives desire a data-driven culture, but only a third have successfully implemented it, according to New Vantage Partners data. According to Field Service News, more than half of field service companies face challenges in accessing timely information. Additionally, over half of these companies also struggle with sharing information within their teams. With those facts in mind, we integrate diverse data sources into our platform, empowering managers with data-driven insights. Tonic3’s virtual experience also integrates with leading CRMs, like Salesforce. These tools serve for timely decisions that lead to success across industries, creating a positive impact in a rapidly evolving market.

As a result, businesses can pivot and adapt, shaping their strategies based on customer preferences and market trends. What sets our store experience apart isn’t just its immersive environment; it’s the real-time insights it provides.

The ability to share this solution with multiple retailers at once further enhances its value. It’s a game-changer that transforms the digital retail landscape. Unlocking New Dimensions of Success Our journey of creating a virtual store shows the power of immersive technologies, UX-centric design, and data-driven decisions. Businesses that embrace these principles are not just responding to change; they’re leading it. Through digital transformation, immersive experiences, and CRM integration, we’re shaping the future of online shopping and retail engagement. This innovation isn’t exclusive to industry giants. Small and medium businesses can harness virtual reality to expand their reach and amplify their online presence. This shift benefits online businesses and physical stores, creating a harmonious balance that enhances the user experience and skyrockets online sales.
