Touch the Future!

Hi,
I came across this wonderful video about how touch technology will develop in future, with everything being connected and easily accessible. I personally loved the first bit where they show augmented reality glasses which help to translate languages and also show where are things lacted. I feel this can add a lot of value to the field of retail and branding. Since it will be easier for customers to locate products and where they can be purchased from. Also it will help in giving them maximum information about products, they will be able to share that with others instantly and get suggestions and opinions.

Ever painted a window display??

Hi, I came across this wonderful video of an artist painting a window for a store wIndow display. Ikiru a traditional Japanese store in New York had an artist Yoko to come and paint their window. This was a wonderful way to engage the public. Since it would attract everyone's attention who passes by the store it was a good way of marketing.

I feel this concept can be used to engage audiences outside the store. Not only painting but other things like drama, dance etc can also be used to attract people into the store. For example some kind of games can be used in a kids store to attract children. Or in a sports store maybe an element of sports can be used to make it more interactive.
