CellShop is a free handy shopping mobile app that lets you virtually tour CellShop in Paraguay. Developed by Imago Interativa, this simple app is for augmented reality fun and allows you to use VR on the popular general store in full 360°. CellShop even has interactable objects that you can play with during your tour. If you’re curious about CellShop while there in Paraguay, then this is an app you may try out.

VR fun

Virtual reality or VR is a simulated experience that can either be similar to or completely different from the real world. You will often see virtual reality being used in entertainment, like in video games, and educational purposes, like in medical or military training. Other distinct types of VR technology include augmented reality and mixed reality.

Virtual reality most often uses a full 360° view, which allows you to fully turn around and see a virtual space with your VR headset. Outside of the mentioned uses, VR can also teach and present places to people with VR tours. This is how CellShop offers its app to anyone interested.

The digital tour

CellShop is a well-known import store in Paraguay. Considered the largest brand in the country, it has both physical locations and online shopping available for anyone who would like to go shopping. CellShop is best known for its vast expanse of electronic merchandise, however. You can buy gadgets such as smartphones and tablets, and even get accessories, electronic tools, and home appliances. 

Thus, its online store is pretty handy for anyone in Paraguay who can’t find the time to go manually browsing. However, if you would like to get familiar with CellShop without going there first, you can also try their little VR app from Imago Interativa. The CellShop app is a virtual tour, with augmented reality features and 3D interactable objects. 

There are animations you can see while you tour the place, some videos you can watch, and there’s even printed materials from CellShop that the app can work on. However, all this will be hard to do if you’re not a full-on Spanish or Portuguese speaker, as CellShop has no other language option. Plus, the printed magazines can’t be accessed on the app itself—you have to manually download it from a given URL.

Not too worth it

All in all, this CellShop is not too much of an intuitive app. It’s pretty much just a whole advertisement for the store and seems too much of a hassle if you can just look up CellShop and start shopping online on a web browser. If anything, this should have just been a shopping app for the store.
