Abstract

Consumers are becoming increasingly more dependent on technology for most of their day-to-day activities as technological breakthroughs continue to be made, and with the on-set of a global pandemic that has only amplified these effects, VR and AR technologies are likely to become predominant mediums for connecting with consumers within a variety of industries shortly for their ability to truly immerse consumers in the shopping experience. Because VR and AR are relatively new technologies, it is essential to factor in the TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) to help predict the way consumers will react to such new technologies based on their current perceptions. By considering the future of the commercial and consumer world, this paper aims to address the changes and impacts that the adoption of these technologies will ultimately have on consumers and their purchasing intentions.
