Digital Transformation & Augmentation With Architech
One aspect of the stores that Architech had a part in is the work we did to bring four interactive video walls to Sport Chek’s flagship stores in Toronto, Edmonton, and Vancouver.
A bit about how they work: While it might just seem like a digital wall, as shoppers approach it, the screen changes to notify them that they can interact with it.
The screens respond to the movement of the user pointing at the screen. Based on the wall the user is interacting with (biking, ski & snowboarding, golf), the imagery shown will connect with the topic to give the user a completely immersive experience.
Using the golf wall, for example, the imagery displayed is of a beautiful golf green that gives the user the feeling of being a part of that environment.
The wall next provides instructions for how the user can interact and adapts the imagery according to - pulling up product specs, information, user reviews, and related content.
Architech used a strategic design sprint to build and deploy this project for FGL and Sport Chek.
