Interactive Wall
I designed this piece as a proof-of-concept integrating multiple display technologies, reactive lighting, and interactivity through both touch and RFID product sensing.
While the form factor in this instance is that of a wall unit, the technologies and thought process could be applied to any other format.
We’re going to build it like this…
Engineering drawing produced by fabrication according to my conceptual rendering and hardware specifications.
Look who’s talking.
From a technical perspective, the tricky bit was getting four LCDs with internal media players to communicate with the central touch display, as well as the external lighting.
Each of the ancillary displays has an RFID product sensor, and its own accent lighting. The central touch display runs off of a PC for all the heavy lifting / graphics processing.
Thanks to the RFID sensors, each product knows where it is on the unit at any given point in time, meaning product “C” could be placed on shelf “A”, and the screen for shelf “A” would trigger the appropriate content and lighting effects for product “C”.
Materials used:
• MDO structural frame with soft-touch matte black laminate
• CNC cut diffused acrylic (2447) lettering with ACM backer boxes for LED illumination
• Aluminum gasket frame for animated light box header
• Side opening service drawer slides
Build in progress.
Install progress - pre-wiring.
All systems go.
