Elite Shopper Anonymous
People sit at home doing online shopping for hours. Some find it therapeutic, others find it addicting. Online shopping does not discriminate against gender, race, or location - it is for everybody. I am to create an application for the elite shopper.
It's a normal Saturday afternoon and one browses online at their favorite retailer. Item after item is put on a wish list and once finished, the elite customer hits "send". Where did it go? This wish list is then delivered to a stylist at the customer's choice of store and after, an appointment must be made by the shopper. Why? To try on the clothes picked out from their wish list.
The customer shows up at the chosen time and as they walk in, the store performs facial recognition to greet and bring you to your dressing room. Everything that you picked out online is in the dressing room under the specific regulations you proposed online and ready to be tried on.
After picking out your favorites, you head to the cash register where a worker has you scan your finger, which automatically charges your credit card. No fumbling to grab at your wallet, whilst dropping your new clothes, and you are free to go once everything is paid for. THIS is the elite shopper's experience.

Kara, this idea is extremely cute and really shopper-savy! What seems to stick out as a problem is the finger scanning. A lot of people would start to feel uncomfortable once body parts eventually start going hand-in-hand with technology especially if it holds importable data such as your card number. A lot of problems can occur with body scans (if that is what you were inferring). Otherwise, it is a great idea.
