VStores is a virtual store service developed by Sola that allows communication with both people and AI in an online virtual space. Because it’s virtual, you can visit the store anytime you like, from the comfort of your own home, without the need to get dressed or leave the house.
*VStores is a service operated by Sola K.K. in Japan.

Features of VStores

  • VStores enables communication through voice and VR in a cross-platform multiplayer environment. You can easily use the service by installing the application on your PC (Windows/Mac) or iPhone/iPad, and anyone can use it for free.
    *Please note that a warning may appear when first launching the application on Windows or Mac after downloading it.

  • Everyone accesses the same store (world) in VStores, enabling communication and interaction between avatars, regardless of the device.
    Please note that most conversations within the world are conducted in Japanese. Any abusive language, slander, or behavior deemed inappropriate by the administrators may result in forced expulsion or access restrictions.

  • There are times when real human staff members are present in the virtual store. These store staff members are real people, allowing you to enjoy more authentic conversations, different from interactions with AI, and ask questions about Sola products or the virtual store.
