Beyond The Web
Digit also does a great deal of projects beyond the web. These can include various digital projects but there are a few digital installations that we were shown that I was particularly impressed by.
The first was an installation done for habitat using RFID technology. A large screen was placed behind a desk. On the desk was a bowl and beneath it was various bits of fabric and furniture. This was placed in store and the user would pick their selection of furniture and fabrics for a room, placing it in the bowl. The RFID tags on the items would be read by a sensor in the bowl and the items would be placed on screen with the chosen fabric on in a virtual room.
This was also used by Audi. Same setup used in their showroom but a car park was drawn on the desk to replace the bowl and car options to replace the furniture such as car model, wheels, colour. The user would put the items in the parking spaces drawn on the desk & the screen would display their customised car on screen before the bought.
