The project allows users to customise their own AI shopping assistant to accompany them in their Virtual Reality Shopping. Users will be able to see and talk with their assistant in the VR space. The goal of this project is to identify potential differences in behaviour when users are allowed to customise the assistant and when they are given an assistant without choice.
