Information technology is taking a growing share of competitiveness in e-commerce, moving beyond product display to shape customer experience and sales. While personalised recommendations based on big data and AR-based virtual product experiences are becoming standard globally, smaller merchants and early-stage founders often struggle with high system-building costs. Cafe24 says its app marketplace, Cafe24 Store, helps narrow that gap by enabling quick adoption of AI, CRM, marketing automation and other functions.

Samsung Electronics and POSTECH said they have implemented, for the first time, a metasurface display technology that switches between 2D and 3D images using only voltage control. The approach uses an ultra-thin metasurface lenticular lens to change focal characteristics by adjusting light polarization. The team said it addressed limits of conventional light-field displays, including thick lenses and narrow viewing angles. It achieved a 100-degree viewing angle with a 1.2-mm-thick lens and validated integration on an OLED panel.
