DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention is in relation to virtual visual system and method of integrating the said system with a virtual commercial transaction to provide an immersive experience of a Real-mercantile platform for a user, in particular the invention provides a system which can be integrated with any e-commerce system.

BACKGROUND
E-commerce is an emerging gateway to buy the products through cyberspace. In the past, consumers were required to physically visit mercantile platforms and shopping malls to purchase products.
With the travel time and mercantile platform timing constraints, it is highly inconvenient to visit a great offline mercantile platform of users’ preference when they want to. Also, during offline commercial transactions, the consumer may waste time by walking through mercantile platforms offering products which are not of his taste or interest unknowingly.
Also, in commercial transactions involving physically disadvantaged persons, it is difficult to walkabout a great mercantile platform(s) surveying and exploring for their requirements, thus limiting good shopping experience.
Currently, with the expanding use of the Internet and World Wide Web, there are many web pages allowing users to browse and purchase merchandise without ever leaving the computer terminal. However, while selling online, there is no distinguishing between an individual seller without any offline mercantile platform or an established offline business, making it difficult for the consumer to judge the surety or quality of the products/services offered comprehensively. Also, the user is missing the “trust” factor experienced in a Real mercantile platform/mercantile platform, in the current online mercantile platforms and the mercantile platforms is unable to “engage” the buyer more actively. With both, the user missing the “real mercantile platform” experience and the buyer missing the opportunity to engage the customer to his satisfaction and needs; the commercial transactions are not always satisfactory.
Accordingly, there remains a need to improve mercantile system – consumer interface to enhance the trust and interactability between the mercantile system and consumer, help consumers shortlist the mercantile systems for their visit if necessary and improve the competitiveness of offline mercantile systems in the e-commerce space.
The present disclosure aims at a system and method to provide a seamless virtual commercial transaction between a mercantile platform and user through virtual “real mercantile platform” experience of the mercantile platform and interactability with the mercantile platform.

In another embodiment, the interactive visual commercial transaction system 106 allows to add one or more online and/or offline mercantile system and showcase their product through the interactive visual commercial transaction system 106.
Figure 2A illustrates an exploded view 200A of the interactive visual commercial transaction system 106 of Figure 1 according to an embodiment herein. The interactive visual commercial transaction system 106 includes a database 202, a commercial transaction system 204 which can be an existing or legacy system or newly developed, and an interactive visual system 206. The two systems 204 and 206 are integrated through customised APIs and service layer for seamless interaction. The commercial transaction system 204 includes a user login module 208, a user preference module210, and a product purchase and payment module 218. The interactive visual commercial transaction system 206 includes a mercantile platform section/product tagging module 212, a visual identification module 214, a product selection module 216. The database object 202 includes one or more products (e.g., costumes, furniture, electronic gadgets etc.). The database 202 includes commercial transaction database 202A and a visual system database 202B. The user login module 208 allows the user 102 to login into the interactive visual commercial transaction 106. In one embodiment, the login id may be email id of the user 102. In another embodiment, the user 102 can use login credentials of his/her social online networks for login or as suggested by the interactive visual commercial transaction.
The user preference module 210 obtains a user preference that includes what product the user 102 intends to purchase and mercantile system the user 102 prefers to purchase from. The visual system module 214 can redirect the user 102 to a mercantile platform upon receiving the user preference. The mercantile system section/product tagging module 212 tags details of the sections/product using a virtual tour. The virtual walkabout enables the user 102 to survey various sections and explore different sections and objects in the mercantile system and obtain extensive perspective view of the mercantile system and merchandise i.e., a 360° view of the mercantile system and merchandise. In another embodiment, the details of the products are stored in a catalogue in the commercial transaction database 202A. In one embodiment, the mercantile system section/product tagging module 212 establishes a link between the products and details of the products.
In another embodiment, the visual commerce module 214 allows the user 102 to navigate across different sections of the mercantile platform and view the details of the products (e.g., price of the product, size of the product, type of the product, offers on the product, availability of the product etc.) by clicking on the product.
A merchandise is tagged with the layer of the product image and the object is identified by a marker icon and/or a polygon icon (i.e. polygon hotspot) to take a shape of the object. In one embodiment, any movement of the product image is translated to the corresponding layer created on the product image hence the marker tagging is kept to the object.
The virtual visual system module 214 also allows adding of one or more new mercantile system to the virtual commercial transaction system. The virtual visual system module 214 enables the user 102 to interact with the mercantile platform for (i) getting better offers (e.g., discounts on the products), (ii) large quantity orders on the products (e.g., more than 50 pieces of the same product), (iii) sharing the details of the products in social medias (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest etc.,). The virtual visual system module 214 thus enables the established offline retailers to virtually showcase their products, and allows the established offline retailers to demonstrate their uniqueness of their products vis-à-vis other mercantile systems. Thus, the visual system module 214 allows the established offline retailers to establish a “trust” factor with the user 102 through replication of their offline mercantile platform. In one embodiment, the user 102 knows complete details of the mercantile platform from which the purchase is being made and can anytime contact or visit the mercantile platform as required. The visual commerce engine 206 enables the user 102 to (i) share mercantile platform section or the product with the social media, and/or (ii) book a taxi to visit the mercantile platform in person. The visual commerce engine 206 guides the user 102 to visit the mercantile platform from the user 102 location in person. In one embodiment, the visual commerce engine 206 tracks user’s 102 location by tracking IP address of the computing device 104.
