Manifesto published 6/8/2023
What is VradosA web3 startup specializing in building online stores using immersive 3D technology. 

The Vrados App is currently under development and will allow users to build their own 3D store that can integrate with preferred e-commerce platforms like Shopify.

The new app is slated for public release in 2024.

BriefThe future of e-commerce, set in the Spatial Age, will be reshaped into a landscape that transcends our traditional understanding of online shopping.

Mixed Reality shatters the glass screen, blending the tangible with the virtual for a more immersive exploration of products beyond traditional displays.

Personalization becomes dynamic, shifting from past preferences to real-time curation, akin to an intelligent mirror reflecting immediate desires.

E-commerce in the Spatial Age signifies the seamless convergence of personalized, immersive, and supernatural shopping experiences. This is the dawn of a new era.

Introduction: The Spatial AgeA radiant future of commerce unfolds before us, harmonizing two transformative innovations: 


‍Mixed Reality: 3D technologies, advanced hardware, spatial AR/VR experiences (Redefining interaction)


‍Personalization: Intelligent curation, individualized responses, self-optimizing (Guiding decision-making)The era of elementary transactions is over. What emerges is a richer, deeper exchange that goes beyond the conventional confines of everyday business. “Shopping” is redefined to create an all new retail ecosystem that is both immersive and tailor-made.

Mixed Reality: The Interactive RevolutionAugmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) stand at the precipice of mass adoption, promising an unparalleled degree of interactivity and vivid realism that will forever change how we shop and discover brands. Buyers will no longer make purchase decisions based on flat, uninspiring images or descriptions. Instead, they will navigate a multi-dimensional cosmos, interacting with products in their native environment, cultivating experiences that move the spirit.AR will pioneer this paradigm shift, enabling viewers to visualize products within their own narratives - in their living room, draped over their body, or within limitless environments of imagination. Such hyper-realistic simulations grant a profound understanding of a product's spatial presence, its texture, its "soul". Perfectly place a potential piece of dream furniture in your own living room, or examine the intimacy of lush apparel against your own form. A shopping experience that is as tangible as it is convenient.Visualize a product's glory by the sun-setting shoreline or in the heart of a packed concert. Or its elegance on a ceremonial walk down a wedding aisle on that special day. This is the power of AR – context at its most relevant.Consumer device hardware is evolving at a breathtaking pace, paving the way for AR to deliver an even more immersive and sensory-rich platform.VR takes this a step further and delivers an even more immersive and sensory-rich platform.Imagine floating through a brand’s universe, experiencing products and services from a comprehensive 360-degree perspective. Sensory inputs like motion, touch, and sound all merge to create a world that leaves you in awe. From the sanctuary of your own home, you could "visit" a hotel room and savor the lullaby of crashing waves from its balcony before booking a trip, or admire the meticulous craftsmanship of a luxury watch movement in precious detail.Heralding in this new age, these kinds of vivid experiences will redefine not just how we interact with brands, but also with one another.

Personalization: Tailoring For ValueAs we project into the future, the humble "store" transforms from a collection of static web pages to a dynamic, personal odyssey that caters to an individual's specific needs, circumstances, and virtues. Personalization in this new era is about using technology to understand and thoughtfully respond to the audience. An homage to each person’s unique story.Yesterday’s personalization offered products or recommendations based on historical data purchases, browsing habits, or on-site behavior. This was done in efforts to curate a shopping experience unique to each viewer. For example, if a customer of a specialty pet store often buys dog supplies, a typical e-commerce site might recommend a new brand of dog food, or show them deals on dog toys. Past advances in personalization even extended to remembering a customer's preferred payment method and default shipping address.A commendable beginning, but a mere prelude to the plan.The personalization of tomorrow is real-time, responsive, and intelligent. Future advancements will involve deeper integration of A.I. and machine learning algorithms, sculpting a store that responds in the present moment, not the past. These systems will encompass a broad range of granular data, such as time of day, day of the week, upcoming events or holidays, and even the 10-day weather forecast in your city.Essentially, stores will become living things, evolving symbiotically with the customer, refining their offerings and interface based on real-time interactions.Customers will even have the ability to customize their favorite stores to match the dimensions of the walls of their own rooms at home, taking personalization to a new level.

CulminationThe future of the store is a reality that offers products and services that spring to life through the magic of augmented and virtual reality, while intelligently optimizing for your preferences.The store of tomorrow will transcend the limitations of static images and layouts, becoming vibrant, interactive landscapes unique to each brand.The future of commerce is more than an evolution of e-commerce; it's a reshaping of the fabric of exchange. It heralds a reality where every interaction is unique, every decision is personal, and every transaction symbolizes a meaningful, enduring relationship.This harmony of technology and personalization represents a new charter of commerce. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity at the dawn of an era set to revolutionize the world as we know it.
