	The project's task is to design an automated shoe shop. No staff will work in this shop. You will be able to enter the shop (or not) and choose a style, colour, size and try on several variations. You must be able to get perfect shoe and pay for it without the help of any human..
	research: Shoe Shopping We went shoe shopping and were forced to try on some of the shoes. The experience was bad, because there are a lot of problems in a high street shoe shops. The staff were rude, the system was impractical, and they did not have my size. It was obvious they always have stock problems, and sometimes the service from staff makes me uncomfortable.
	IMPS: Integrated Moose Purchasing System To make shoe shopping fun, we focused on snowboard show and set snowboarders as the target market. Another reason to focus on snowboarding is the boots can be fixed on a floor to be tried. IMPS(Intergrated Moose Purchasing System) is set in a container and designed for a snowboarding show. The part of the container will work as a shop, and the rest is a strage room. The stock will be refilled everyday, so every size will be available. It will sell only one special model of the year, and give users great experience of shopping. The boots will be provided with a box. The return address will be printed on the box, and if custmers want to return the boots, they just need to send the box.
