Alternate Reality

GONE ARE THE days of simple painted boards and neon lettering – digital signage is having its moment and unusual graphics are taking center stage. It’s not enough to spell out your brand message anymore, you have to show and tell it. Retail and restaurant environments are using increasingly eclectic methods of grabbing and keeping attention, with unexpected materials and unmissable moving imagery.

In-store tech is miles ahead of where it was even just a year ago. Virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and facial recognition technology are now staples, though they improve in quality and impact with each iteration. Expect ever more high-tech gadgets in 2022, offering customers hyper-customization and convenience.

It’s a new reality, one that’s seeing the line between the real and the imagined blurred. One that’s feeding customers’ growing hunger for experiential retail and memorable dining with challenging colors, surprising textures, engaging stories and immersive interaction.
