The Internet of Things is going to make shopping a far more personalized experience. Stores will be able to tailor your shopping experience to your specific needs through the use of real-time analytics. They will be able to predict what you want, how often you want it and where you will want to buy it. Stores will use sensors to track both customer movement and inventory. Facial recognition will be used to create a shopper profile to identify both high value customers and known shoplifters. The data from these devices will allow stores to operate at a far more efficient level and personalize customer recommendations much more effectively than ever before. This, and more, adds up to the new face of the connected retail environment
