Nice. I've been looking for a while for a VR shop which sells HTC Vive.

What is the thinking behind this technology.. most people I know, wants to go to shops to interact with other people. {The social side of life} We like to sit in a Coffee shop and watch people and the

things they do... check out all the craziness in this world. I do see the need for this, if you are handicapped or anti-social and you do not want to deal with other people. The VR stuff is cool, but I think

people are over engineering the technology. If I wanted to buy something from the privacy of my home, a normal website with pictures of the products will do nicely. The Realty & Property business is

more suited to VR technology with 3D tours to showcase properties imo.  Huh

Good point, shopping in malls and shops has its charms and VR takes the social side out but there's a lot more to do with the technology.

I rarely find something extraordinary these days but the Lumiere Virtual Shop is the coolest thing I've seen in a while. It's a sort of collection containing virtual shops from all sectors like clothing, electronics, cars and furniture. You can even take the furniture and place it in your room to see how it looks. This will surely be the next big thing in online shopping.
If you're a beta tester as well please hit me up so we can play around the rooms in the same time.

I strongly recommend everyone who owns a VR to join the beta testing program and test out the features: https://l-os.com/beta-testing-program/  
If you don't have a VR already, you can join the program and purchase an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive and have it shipped in a few days which is unbelievable considering the waiting periods on the official oculus site. I joined the program on Monday and received my Oculus today.
