Digital signage kiosks can be seen in many types of retail stores to provide shoppers with up-to-date information and the latest promotions. Kiosks with 3D advertising capabilities allow shoppers to print coupons of promotional offerings and they also gives brand marketers a chance to showcase their products.
Challenge
|
Our customer is currently the market leader in true 3D consumer advertising displays. Their new 3D holographic kiosk is equipped with two 17” displays; one projects videos in front of the screen without the need for special glasses and the other one is a 2D interactive touchscreen that provides consumers with quick access to promotions, coupons, or other retailer specific programs. Brand marketers can showcase their products via 3D advertising and engage viewers in new ways via an interactive touch screen interface. The 3D kiosks have been gradually launched in 1,000 retail locations in the New York and Los Angeles markets.
