One of our
traders attended a U2 concert some time ago and was particularly taken by the
giant computer screen that interacted with the band and the audience in a
variety of ways. He immediately thought of a retail application at QVM where we
have such a large footprint and an opportunity to show crowds of shoppers any
number of exciting events on a huge screen perhaps located in JKLM Sheds.
Recently
the Queensland University of Technology and Corporate Initiatives unveiled just such a screen and immediately
nominated retail as an ideal application. The screen can respond to content
input from a tablet device or kinetic cameras and receive input from multiple
locations. Up to 15 videos can be run on the screen with up to 10 participants,
all at the same time. Corporate Initiatives are responsible for the high tech stadium displays you see at places like the MCG.
We can see
many possibilities at QVM not just for sound and light shows like the Night
market but for regular daytime entertainment and information, and of course
other special events.
Thanks to Kris Robinson for the storyline.
