platforms such as Blinkit, Zepto, and others, allowing users to browse,
try-on outfits in VR, and purchase items with seamless checkout.
2. Food Court: A virtual dining experience where customers can browse
and order food from platforms like Zomato and Swiggy, which will be
delivered to their real-world location.
3. Game Zone: A dynamic VR gaming space offering interactive and
modifiable gaming experiences for users.
The system integrates AI-driven customer preference analysis to stock
warehouses with products that align with consumer demand, reducing
delivery time and increasing efficiency.

services, allowing customers to explore food courts in VR and place
orders for real-world delivery.
• Dynamic VR Game Zone: Fully modifiable gaming environments that
support multiplayer and AI-based personalisation.
• AI-Based Product Stocking: Consumer behaviour tracking and
predictive stocking for warehouse optimisation.
• Blockchain-based Transactions: Secure and transparent payments
and transactions through cryptocurrency and digital wallets.
A. OBJECTIVE OF THE INVENTION
1. Automated Virtual Shopping Experience: Develop an immersive,
AI-driven VR-based shopping mall that eliminates the need for physical
retail spaces and enhances user engagement.
2. Enhanced Product Trial System: Implement AR-based virtual fitting
rooms to allow customers to experience product fitting and
appearance before purchase.
3. Seamless Food Service Integration: Enable users to browse, order,
and receive food in real life through VR-based food courts linked with
delivery services.
4. Adaptive Game Zone: Create a VR gaming environment that adapts
dynamically to user preferences and provides a customisable
experience.

delivery time by predicting customer demand and optimising inventory
storage in warehouses.
6. Workforce & Cost Optimisation: Minimise the need for physical
store staff and infrastructure costs, leading to more efficient business
operations.
7. Global Accessibility: Allow users from different locations to
experience a mall-like shopping, dining, and entertainment
environment without geographical limitations.
8. Security & Transaction Efficiency: Integrate blockchain technology
