The virtual Google store can be experienced through a virtual reality tour and a pair of Google Cardboard glasses, where a Google associate will give a five-minute guided tour of the retail space. The Google Shop at Currys VR Tour showcases interactive walls, but it's mostly a teaser for the shop, since none of the cool tech can be experienced through virtual reality. However, if you're curious as to how a Google retail space looks in comparison to one by Apple, this gives you a great look without having to travel to London.","datePublished":"2015-03-18T19:34:03Z","headline":"Virtual Technology Shops","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"TREND HUNTER

giant set up a virtual shop for those who can't make it to the real thing at Currys PC World in London. The virtual Google store can be experienced through a virtual reality tour and a pair of Google Cardboard glasses, where a Google associate will give a five-minute guided tour of the retail space. <br /> <br /> The Google Shop at Currys VR Tour showcases interactive walls, but it's mostly a teaser for the shop, since none of the cool tech can be experienced through virtual reality. However, if you're curious as to how a Google retail space looks in comparison to one by Apple, this gives you a great look without having to travel to London.</div><div class='tpt__aSecCont'><div class='tpt__aSec'> <div class='tpt__aSecHeading'>Trend Themes</div> <div class='tpt__aSecItems'><div class='tpt__aItem'> <div class='tpt__aItemText'><b class='tpt__aItemTitle'>1.

the tech giant set up a virtual shop for those who can't make it to the real thing at Currys PC World in London. The virtual Google store can be experienced through a virtual reality tour and a pair of Google Cardboard glasses, where a Google associate will give a five-minute guided tour of the retail space. <br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe Google Shop at Currys VR Tour showcases interactive walls, but it's mostly a teaser for the shop, since none of the cool tech can be experienced through virtual reality. However, if you're curious as to how a Google retail space looks in comparison to one by Apple, this gives you a great look without having to travel to London.<\/div><div class='tpt__aSecCont'><div class='tpt__aSec'>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aSecHeading'>Trend Themes<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aSecItems'><div class='tpt__aItem'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class='tpt__aItemText'><b class='tpt__aItemTitle'>1.
