IKEA has made a VR Experience?

IKEA has just released their own "VR Experience" on Steam, allowing those with the HTC Vive to explore a digital kitchen showroom where you can quickly interact and even change the materials or finish of the units.

This kitchen is very similar to what is seen in the IKEA 2016 catalogue, and the app is something that Ikea plans on supporting until August of this year.

The Idea behind this app is the potential of a future VR showroom, allowing customers to view and alter furniture and other items without stepping foot into a store. IKEA have created this application as an experiment to see how VR could affect the shopping experience, sharing their prototype with the early adopters of the HTC Vive so that they can deliver feedback and propose futue changes.

Below is a statement from Jesper Brodin, the managing Director of IKEA, stating that VR will be integrated into most peoples lives in 5-10 years.

Virtual reality is developing quickly and in five to ten years it will be an integrated part of people’s lives. We see that virtual reality will play a major role in the future of our customers. For instance, someday, it could be used to enable customers to try out a variety of home furnishing solutions before buying them,
