Here’s something nice to get this year started. It’s show&tell with Sven and Nick. This time featuring Funky Retail. Check it out and tell us what you think!
Gr8 Work :) … Was wondering if the boxes can be made to interact with the mobile devices carried by customer. Customer comes near the box…the color of the box changes…. The box gets to extract data from the customers device… and uses a more personalized approach to market the product.. such as addressing the customer by name ( just an example)

Thanks for your feedback, Arjit! One thing we like about this prototype is that it works without any kind of mobile device being involved. What you describe would only be possible if the customer opted in, and out of experience we know that doesn’t happen to often. We always need to be careful where we position ourselves on the “cool or creepy scale”.

Very cool usage of Raspberry Pi and Arduino. Great job!
