Forgotten Retail: Cybersmith (1995-1999) 

One of those early internet/cafe retail experiments that popped up in the first web gold rush years, they had opened four locations (mainly in Massachusetts) before closing in 1999. Customers could experiment with the internet, online services, CD-ROMs, and PC games. They could also create their own website or video greeting card (image 6). There are also “virtual reality pods” (Virtuality models - image 5) and “simulation stations”. In the ’On-Line Cafe’ (image 3), shoppers can order food from computer stations.
