The classification of products is important along with voice aviation to dig deeper into voice search.

They analyse the purchasing behaviour by going through the purchase history of the user. The chatbots also display images, videos, web pages, and blogs along with voice and text which are related to the product. Magento also offers a user-friendly chatbot from which the customer can seek any kind of help/information.

For example, the users can now actually visualise the product in their surroundings and then decide whether to make a purchase or not. The use of AR/VR technology is going be wonderful for Magento E-commerce development in 2021.
