An apparatus to create a virtual layout of a virtual store to emulate a physical layout of a physical store includes a memory and a processor. The processor receives a physical position and orientation associated with a physical rack located in the physical store. In response, the processor places a virtual rack at a virtual position and orientation on the virtual layout, to represent the physical position and orientation of the physical rack on the physical layout. The processor receives virtual items associated with physical items located on physical shelves of the physical rack. In response, the processor places the virtual items on virtual shelves of the virtual rack, the virtual shelves representing the physical shelves of the physical rack. The processor assigns a rack camera, which captures video that includes the physical rack, to the virtual rack and stores the virtual layout in the memory.

Tool for generating a virtual store that emulates a physical store

An apparatus includes a display, interface, and processor. The interface receives video from a camera located in a physical store and directed at a first physical rack. The camera captures video of the rack during a shopping session. The processor displays a first virtual rack that emulates the first physical rack and includes first and second virtual shelves. The virtual shelves include virtual items, which include graphical representations of physical items located on the physical rack. The processor displays the rack video, which depicts an event including the person interacting with the first physical rack. The processor also displays a virtual shopping cart. The processor receives information associated with the event, identifying the first virtual item. The rack video depicts that the person selected the first physical item while interacting with the first physical rack. The processor then stores the first virtual item in the virtual shopping cart.
