social shopping reversed


just an idea about “social shopping”:
people like to shop with friends, show each other stuff.
after school, people don’t usually live in the same town as their friends.
so they could use some online service to connect and shop. point at websites or pictures of products and talk about it.

OR

offline shops (like H&M or Zara) put up terminals inside, where you can log into your favourite messengers and videochat with your friends. to show them what you like to buy.
that would be cool. ;)

here is a quick sketch:

some related thoughts:
- don’t put it *inside* the changing room
- care for really nice camera (whole body?) and nice lighting
- use camera software to automatically slim and tan the people
- reassuring “log out and erase all my personal data” button
- finding the right place is probably crucial - watched over by staff, but close to changing rooms
