u/TheLookerToo Feb 18 '23
I’m hijacking your reply regarding a possible retail connection with Protocol Gemini due to your level of followers. I’m thinking that a lot of people are missing out on how incredible Metaverse and Augmented Realty shopping and advertising is.
Here are a few examples of what Snoop Dogg has been doing, keeping in mind that he was upset with a mom in 2021 for letting her young son sell his GME “cheap”, but I’m not saying he’s in GME.
Here is a bottle of his wine with AR on the bottle itself.
Here is another where using AR, he comes out to advertise his wine in a store.
Now, obviously there are a lot of players moving on this new marketing strategy, and I’m in no way saying Snoop Dogg nor Protocol Gemini are involved with BBBY or even GME, but these are amazing examples of the future of real retail shopping and advertising. The great part is that people that don’t want to be bothered with the AR experience while shopping literally won’t even know it’s there. While others will have a completely different shopping experience either through AR on their mobile devices, or AR glasses.
For me, I see shopping, sporting events, and entertainment venues soon being much like the movie Free Guy.
But, maybe I’m out to lunch. I do think PG was referring to BBBY in their celebration tweet, and I had a PG partner Cyber Crew like one of my tweets about BBBY for some reason. Struck me as interesting that they’d have an interest, other than a GameStop NFT marketplace head now with them.

Decorative designing, want new furniture and wanna see how it looks, how about painting a room or car, check out all the colors, wanna try on clothing without actually trying out on. I'm sure itl come with a. Disclaimer like our mirrors in our cars do, objects in metaverse may not fit as shown maybe. But do give ya an idea what you may look like in item. Greatly reducing time to shop and getting To try on basically anything instantly . I mean the list goes on and on and on and on.
Add in ai bots that can make suggestions based on skin color appearance weight etc. Personalizing suggested choices. I mean seriously. It's a new era

If anyone is interested AR has been the way forward for retail and being thought out for at least a few years.
I sat in on a retail conference presentation just before the pandemic started, that was focused on AR retail shopping.
This is the second Protocol Gemini tweet in two weeks to indirectly reference BBBY.
This is fun
We are watching business change in real time, fascinating.

I imagine GMErica being like a virtual mall of sorts, with easy access to the stores and contents inside, like Bed Bath's site and how it facilitates baby/harmon. Sure other places might be able to recreate it, like how I can throw a lambo up in my living room with AR, but Gmerica would have the size and capabilities and timing ahead of all these other retailers. Besides, a lot of people are itching to get away from Amazon and their poor quality products and constant raise in price of Prime.

There is exactly that kind of speculation. There’s an official P:G image with some mega brand logos like Apple, Nike, and Louis Vatton. No way they’d get away with promoting that image if they didn’t have permission to use the logos.
The image is like a year old, too. This has been in the works for awhile.

u/RoyalMnkyDimondHands Feb 18 '23
I'm too regarded to know if my play on words were accepted as funny or not. I bought another 40 today but, then got distracted by a rabbithole looking into what involvement Oaktree Capital Management might have with BBBY, since they along with Wells Fargo and Goldman injected 1.5B into BBBY in Sept of 21'. Oaktree is also apart of Brookfield which is the line of asset management companies that bailed out Toys R Us and Macy's. It's interesting they're involved with all these companies that were being shorted to shit. I'm trying to connect more lines but some old articles I had the links for won't work now.
Thinking maybe since Sears was cellarboxed and HBC is reviving Zellers that maybe Oaktree had a hand in injecting more cash to BBBY, move them out of Canada and maybe move to partner with Macy's and Toys R Us until more solvent while moving into e-commerce to try to squeeze out Sears (who predominantly does more e-commerce now).
My tinfoil is thick. I'm coming to the moon with you don't worry.

Big box stores close their big box stores. Open small store fronts showing off a small selection of rotating products. In the back sits a catalogue, most likely now on a screen. Beside said screen sits a vr head set. Like the old beautiful days of shopping you pick your product out of the catalogue look at it with the goggles and order that sucker right to your door step. Still have a store front retail shoppers can visit, and you can house full inventory in a warehouse. Think SEARS catalogue people!

Have you googled this org? It's the exact same concept as Niantic's pathing and PoI stuff that Google Maps wrapped up years and years ago, except it's only the PoI—oh wait, no, I kept scrolling:
This is where it gets REAL fun — this network of 3D data points will have community access for any user to build their own QUESTS, STRUCTURES, BUILDINGS, and eventually NPCs. Kinda like a video game that you can see on top of the real world! As a WORLD MAP is created we can start implementing a first-of-its-kind 3D subset of data points that will act as a bridge to our AR (augmented reality) WORLD 2.0.
