In a twist related to my previous post about PrevYou here (link), a social shopping platform, an Austin, Texas-based site ShangBy (link) has an unconventional way for you to shop in Shanghai, where prices for luxury goods can be significantly cheaper than in the U.S., by allowing you to shop virtually via a camera following a Swedish guide in Shanghai! As a ShangBuyer, you tell them what items to zoom in on, which products Nina should try on, what questions to ask the merchants, and which products you’d like to buy. Now here’s actually a potential reason for justin.tv’s technology!
