DESIGN NAME: Hitachi India
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Experience Center
INSPIRATION: It was the rush through the veins when we were asked to create an interesting storyline around Hitachi India product line. Like it was never done before, we have to curate that from the scratch. The factor of retaining the unique footfall at the experience center was the initial driving force behind the entire inspiration. Making it from the tip of the pencil, yes, we got creative influence throughout the design journey.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The design combines both unique product experiences with unique visual communication. Through 3D visuals, the whole demonstration became picture perfect for the root approach of Live Product Experience in a Live Environment. This design also possesses the capability of making the consumer interact with products in the LIVE space and time. We have provided enough breather to the design by activating the products in segregated spaces. Hence, the reason to believe gets popped out through the real time working of the project.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: At first place, decisions for the operational flow was to be made firm about choosing the Product Zone approach. To activate the product in the Live Environment, M Shaped layout flowed very well with the approach to enhance the shopper journey, educative visibility with high conversions in business. It was not easy to bay out the USP and RTBs with the product line of Hitachi India. With all that hassle, the real time trigger for the purchase decision was achieved.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in November 2020 and was completed in January 2021 in Kadi, Gujarat, India.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The production mirrored the connectivity approach between the design and live working visualization. To drive the experience rush in the veins, the product should be moved on the activated verges, influencing the realization factor of the entire project. Thus, a controller monitor is placed to carter that activation and drive the experience pulse. It also helps in understanding the different segregations through visuals.
