Retail Focus 9/16/20 – Expanding Augmented Reality’s Reach in Retail; Walmart+ Launches

Our interview guest is Jon Cheney, the CEO and co-founder of Seek, a leading imaging provider for retailers. He discusses the technology behind implementing 3D images into augmented reality services for retailers and drawing AR out of apps and into browsers for digital commerce. We look at Walmart’s launch of Walmart+ in the news segment, and why it may be more instructive to view it as an expansion of Delivery Unlimited rather than “Walmart’s Prime.” And, we wrap up with news of Chewy’s new limited-SKU distribution center.
