It’s holiday shopping crunch time, but there’s no need to stress. By adding a few tech tricks to your shopping repertoire, you can have a quicker, potentially less expensive and possibly more fun experience than ever before. And there may even be less cause for returning unwanted gifts after Christmas. Remember the days of getting an actual toy catalog and having children flip through the pages? It was a full afternoon activity for kids to sit down, get their imaginations spinning and circle the coveted gifts they wanted on their wish list. Even though physical toy catalogs may be a thing of the past, Amazon has a similar online option for parents and kids to discover. The Virtual Holiday Shop and Virtual Toy Shop use immersive 3D to create an interactive website that will help shoppers feel inspired and maybe discover new products along the way. | By Amy Iverson
