The Mobile Display Unit (MDU) is basically a computer that can be placed anywhere in the store to display a wide array of content formats on a variety of screen types (lcd, projectors, plasma, TBD). It should be as flexible as possible, it is a tool for the store and be prepared for unexpected future scenarios and applications.
It is mobile in the sense that it has no fixed location
in the store, rather it can be placed by the merchendising staff or art director in various places as needs be.
CONNECTIONS
It can work as an independent element or connected to a CMS or the internet.
It should be possible to connect a wide variety of peripherals to the MDU,
cameras, sensors, printers, input devices, touchscreens, etc
CASING
The physical casing should be designed as a discrete black box. The hardware should be able to be mounted in ceilings or walls, inside furniture, orsimply placed on the floor.
MEDIA
It should be able to process a wide variety of HD Media. DVD, Bluray, HDDVD,High Res Images, Customized Applications, Satellite Television, Internet Media, etc.
SCREENS
It should be able to handle a wide variety of display types. The store should be provided with a generous toolbox of screens and projectors. Also weshould assume that new hardware.
