Consumers' food selection behaviors in three-dimensional (3D) virtual reality.

Virtual reality (VR) can be a useful tool for conducting consumer behavior experiments. The aim of this research was to examine whether people standing in front of a supermarket shelf make similar decisions and process similar information as those in front of a shelf in a VR shop. In Study 1, participants were asked to select a cereal from among 33 commercially available types of cereals placed on a shelf.
