The days of your phone dying while spending hours perusing Walmart are over. The department store giant announced that they are working with tech company Ossia to integrate wireless over-the-air charging with their retail stores. The technology could charge in-store devices, wireless barcode scanners, cameras and other items within a store and is expected to be available to employees, customers and used for the store's own products. The new partnership is expected to save [Walmart](https://www.gearbrain.com/walmart-patents-vr-store-plans-2597406224.html) money and, according to Walmart's spokesperson, eventually lower product costs for consumers.
