Toys R Us Digital Wall
About
The Toys R Us Digital Wall, deployed in the Toys R Us/Babies R Us Redwood City store November 2012 through November 2013, was EPIC Design Lab's first venture into in-store connected kiosk technology. With custom designed 70 inch multi-touch screen, it provided a beautiful fluid interface for customers to explore curated guides for gift purchases, search through the in-store inventory, viewing product locations on an interactive map.
