After years of emphasis on digital channels, businesses are challenged to re-engage customers in physical spaces, responding to our human need for in-person, location-based interactions as well as offering new customer experiences. By fusing architecture and interaction design, physical spaces can be enlivened with digital technology and enable experiences that are immersive, participatory, and expressive of brand values. Faculty from CMU’s School of Design with College of Fine Art alumni will present real-world examples and speculative student work, followed by conversation with attendees about the opportunities and challenges of new, competitive technologies for retail and services. Questions we’ll explore include:
  • How do current technologies offer new immersive physical experiences? 
  • When does customer interaction offer memorable experiences that accrue value to the brand? 
  • What’s emerging that may impact the design of retail experiences?
