10 Interactive stations at a glance
Multitouch installations and other interactive stations make excellent central presentation tools in showrooms. With the multitude of technologies and possibilities, it is difficult to get an overview of which elements could make up your own showroom. We have compiled ten typical and most suitable interactive stations here to make research and selection easier for you.
10 interactive stations in showrooms
Interaktive Vitrinen
Präsentieren Sie Ihre Produkte sicher, aber interaktiv dreh- und erkundbar hinter Multitouch-Glas. Mit Hilfe von Bildschirmen setzen Sie die Stimmung, erklären Herstellungsprozesse und weitere Informationen proaktiv.
monitors & monitor walls
Whether controlled via touch-inputs or tablet PC, a monitor wall is ideal for presentations of the different kind. Or it can play spectacular video footage or shows high-resolution 3D models on the side (but very large). Blending the individual monitors or concealing them behind mirror glass makes the presentation become even more impressive.
interactive walls
This combination of display cases, surface printing, projections, and recessed multi-touch monitors enables you to present your business, its history, and its main fields of operation both on a large scale and varied.
Augmented Reality stations
Swiveling monitors are just one of your many options of allowing your visitors to explore their real environment through digital interactivity. If positioned in front of surface prints, sliding (transparent) display screens as well can augment a wall print with a superimposed layer and provide access to additional in-depth information on content.
Virtual Reality stations
In particular cases, VR goggles or extensive spatial projections inside your showroom can enhance and contribute to your storytelling.
multi-touch tables
Being virtual all-rounders (no pun intended), they often serve as a showroom’s central element. They can display every kind of content conceivable, interact with products or other peripheral objects, and also be used a product configuration tool.
holographic installations
Sadly, genuine holograms do not exist yet. The convincing illusion of a hologram, however, can be achieved in many ways, and if it teams up with a visitor’s imagination, the deception seems almost real.
projection mapping
Project exactly rendered images onto three dimensional objects or surfaces. Your visitors can, for example, interactively alter a product’s surface features and design, change a map – or even the entire world.
scanner stations
If you want to maximize visitor involvement, let users take part in and contribute to the showroom design itself, e.g., by scanning objects and through this triggering new or different content, or integrate your guests’ digitized creative outputs into the exhibition.
immersive rooms
Projections filling an entire room create an experience for the visitor of truly being right in the middle of things. You stay in control of their experience via tablet PC and smartphone.
… to be continued: Here’s the cliffhanger – the real excitement begins with the conception of entirely new interactive stations to optimally showcase the respective topics at hand. Often a clever recombination of existing elements, technologies, and features already is enough to leave a deep and lasting impression with visitors.
