The Future of Smart Glasses Shopping Is Here -- AR Meta Stores Transform Any Location into a Virtual Storefront

Patented AR/XR Technology Powers Flying Eye Reality's Digital Commerce Platform, Connecting Virtual and Real-World Locations

CHICAGO, Feb. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- While Apple, Meta, and Google are pioneering smart glasses, Flying Eye Reality (FER) fills a critical gap by seamlessly integrating AR commerce into the real world with its patented technology. With AR commerce projected to surpass $100 billion, FER's beta launch of Spotselfie® AR Meta Stores introduces a revolutionary platform where businesses, creators, and brands can establish virtual storefronts tied to real-world locations. Powered by FER's latest patented AR/XR innovations, these storefronts are fully accessible through mobile and desktop platforms within Spotselfie's Real-World Social Metaverse.

FER's four newly granted AR/XR patents for social media and digital commerce secure the process and platform behind these digital storefronts, ensuring a scalable, immersive retail experience that seamlessly blends physical locations with virtual commerce—a significant leap forward for the AR industry. As smart glasses become more popular, outdoor shopping centers, stadiums, theme parks, and university campuses will become key locations for GPS-based AR digital retail advertising.

Bringing AR Meta Stores to Life

The Spotselfie® AR Meta Store platform (Beta) empowers businesses to claim and customize digital real estate, integrating location-based shopping, advertising, and social engagement into one seamless experience. Companies can now:

• Own & Customize Digital Land – Businesses can claim their Spotland®, select a GPS location, and build their AR Meta Store, mirroring their real-world presence in the metaverse.
• Launch Interactive AR Storefronts – Customers using AR glasses or mobile devices can explore floating storefronts, view digital merchandise, and engage with exclusive promotions.
• Manage Content & Engage in Real-Time – Brands can post videos, photos, AR branding art, and special promotions while directly interacting with consumers.
• Offer Location-Based Advertising & Promotions – Businesses can send notifications to users entering their AR Meta Store, delivering hyper-targeted marketing.

Ray Shingler, Co-Founder and VP of Product Development at Flying Eye Reality, Inc., stated, "With Meta betting on social AR, Apple prioritizing seamless integration, and Google focusing on enterprise XR, the one thing missing is a scalable AR commerce layer—and Spotselfie AR Meta Stores is filling that gap."
