Prototype: Holographic Retail Stunt


Limited editions, raffles and endless queues… Demodern Frankfurt reinvents online shopping and lets customers purchase a luxury sneaker by ‚downloading‘ it in mixed reality.

Shopping in Mixed Reality

If physical retail wants to withstand growing e-commerce platforms, they have to offer incentives for customers they canʼt get anywhere else. As a creative technology agency, Demodern aims to bring the latest innovation in display technology to the retail market: introducing the holographic display. A brand new technology with the potential to transform and innovate the retail experience.

Window shopping 2.0

Using a holographic display as part of the storefront, a virtual 3D copy of the designer sneaker is presented in a futuristic way. Customers can explore the product via gesture recognition, rotate it, zoom in - and even personalize colours, laces and other details using the own mobile phone as remote control.

This unseen product presentation allows retailers to pre-launch a yet to be released product, create desire and let users experience a very instant yet exclusive way of purchasing. The holographic display is modular and replaces the pop-up store concept - to be placed at urban hotspots, secret in-locations, metro stations, malls, window fronts etc. 

A new way of window shopping.
