The latest innovations in tech for retailers were showcased at the Retail Business Show held at the Olympia in West London earlier this month.

The Musion Eyeliner 3D display could be the next thing in window dressing. The high definition projection system uses only one camera shoot and one projector to produce a life-like 3D image that can be viewed without the aid of glasses.

The product has already been used at London stores, including Virgin Megastore and Superdrug.
