One of the most widely publicized examples of VR used by the public is a setup created by Matsushita in Japan.  This is a  retail application set up in Japan to help people choose appliances and furnishings for the relatively small kitchen apartment spaces in Tokyo. Users bring their architectural plans to the Matsushita store, and a virtual copy of their home kitchen is programmed into the computer system. Buyers can then mix and match appliances, cabinets, colors, and sizes to see what their complete kitchen will look like-without ever installing a single item in the actual location.
