In the course of the emergence of new technological solutions, ways of applying them must be studied and proposed. In this context, the objective of this work was to use the augmented reality to the merchandising, increasing the number of technological options for the improvement of conventional commercial establishments. We proposed and developed a library that makes use of Microsoft Kinect to help developers build augmented reality applications that can be used in physical retail commerce as marketing tools, allowing passers-by to interact with the application. The goal is for them to become shop customers during the interaction process. Finally, the application of an interactive virtual showroom was developed to show the practical utility of the tool for both developers and the commercial retail sector.
