When we started building ASTRA about 4 years ago now, the value proposition was figuring out a multiplayer shopping experience using VR from home. Our core thesis was that one day, the younger generations spending hours on platforms like Roblox would want to go shopping from home and experience the in-store experience with friends as though they were in the store in real life. Back in 2020, VR was far from mass adoption so we had to build and iterate 4 versions ranging from browser-based 3D shopping, to "play-to-wear" web games, to in-store arcade machines, until last year we demoed an in-store VR at Fashion District - London festival and got our best feedback so far. Based on the feedback received from that demo, here's our latest iteration of Astra, an in-store VR experience that allows customers to discover future fashion collections in virtual reality before they exist in real life and for brands to get data on customer preferences before manufacturing. Why now? research by Lone Design Club shows that IRL retail is becoming more important that URL retail. 61% of Gen Z shoppers are more likely to shop in store and in 2021 brick and mortar sales grew faster than e-commerce sales for the first time. With the in store experience becoming more interesting and exciting, and competition on the high street increasing, our latest iteration presents a new way to gamify the in-store experience while getting data that leads to less waste. I'd like to thank our friends, advisors and investors over the years such as Helen Lax Matthew Drinkwater Stefano Galassi Seven Jacobs Ashleigh Ainsley FRSA Michael French Sophie Lonergan Miriam Irungu Terry Bommels Charles Read Charlie Yechuan Hu Steven Robinson Ben Atueyi Ashim Egunjobi Jordy K.

Next up is partnering with a physical store for an IRL case study and then getting this on the Apple Vision Pro as one of its first enterprise VR solutions for retail.
