Brookstone’s Kinset 3-D virtual store will enhance the traditional, search-based web experience. The company will include links from its website to the virtual store, and visa versa to give consumers the choice to shop as they choose.

Kinset software will provide Brookstone a new way to test store design, layout and merchandising.

Greg Sweeney, vice president and general manager of direct marketing at Brookstone, said: The Brookstone Kinset 3-D store has transformed e-commerce from a two-dimensional task of searching and viewing text and images, to a deeper, more robust and interactive journey of browsing and discovery.
