I had an exciting opportunity to work in Italy with a sponsor who manufactures interactive kiosks and digital displays. The main concern of my project was finding ways to deal with digital retail in present times and its subsequent adaptation to the future.
The client Garofoli spa the leaders in door manufacturing, wanted to showcase their products and communicate to their prospective clients in digital formats using gesture sensors, touch screens and virtual representations. Garofoli desired that the customers access their advertising through interactive yet easy to understand interfaces. In addition, the interfaces and programmes had to be ones that they could update and communicate to their prospective clients in a digital format using gesture sensors, touch screens and virtual representations without any complicated technicalities.
I conducted intensive research on several areas before commencing my design conceptualizations. Based on my studies, I developed and prototyped four concepts which were selected by the client with Grottini. Concept 1 was a wall mounted touch screen; Concept 2 was a self standing touch screen; Concept 3 was a Totem with 50” LCD screen operated by mouse and Concept 4: Virtual Door Display . These were displayed in Milan Expo ’09 where I got the feedback of the Garofoli clients.
It is a matter of great professional pride for me that Garofoli has selected and decided to manufacture Concept 3.
My trip to Italy was an extremely fruitful one and a wonderful experience which enlightened my path towards design and its implementation. |
