Imagine going into a store to purchase a product and not being able to examine that product that you're' buying, getting the chance to smell it, touch it, or even look at it. Well, that's what the government in Canada allegedly has in mind for their cannabis dispensaries.
According to newly proposed federal regulations, the dispensaries in the Ontario region won't be able to show their products up front to the customers, they won't be able to look at it or smell it before making their purchase decision.
They need a solution...
Dispensaries now have the option to turn to virtual reality technology to help them get around the ridiculous restrictions that have been put into place. And the dispensaries in Canada might be the first cannabis dispensaries in the world to utilize the technology in this manner, to provide their customers with an interactive cannabis experience.
The app that is going to help them do this is known as, Weed VR, and it's going to enable customers to be able to examine 3D models of various strains, to be able to touch, grind, and roll the cannabis, before they make their decision to buy.
Dispensaries Of The Future?
Ultimately, they want to compile information about strains from around the world as they are developed. Then, they want to pair that information with other data about scientific lab data and user reviews.
The digital 3D scanning process that's behind Weed VR is reportedly helping to create the world's very first comprehensive strain library and market analysts suggest that it has the ability to significantly revolutionize the cannabis sale process in the future.
