Alex Wrottesley, a budding media entrepreneur is all set to execute an exciting 8 million-pound plan that deals with real-life shopping experience in London into virtual reality.

The technology will deal with providing the online shoppers to access all their favorite malls, just a click away and thumb through products stacked on virtual shelves.

This will provide the shoppers a traffic-free solutions to brows through their requirements at the shop of their choice. The idea mainly deals with duplicating the central London shopping streets online. The virtual streets would be free from beggars, pickpockets and potholes with an occasional Routemaster bus to ensure smooth flow of pedestrian traffic.

To make the model all the more realistic, the designers have included a weather changing feature per Met Office data, which means, if it pours on Oxford Street, then a similar rain would be stimulated online.

Wrottesley said: "This is the first time that someone has tried to recreate a city just as you"d find it in real life." AGENCIES
