3M and Creative Graphics International (CGI), have announced that Volkswagen UK has installed wide screen and interactive digital displays using Vikuiti Rear Projection technology in its Chelmsford and Milton Keynes dealerships.
Volkswagen is using the displays to play videos to help capture customers attention. A 96in 16:9 Vikuiti screen has been hung on the first floor of the newly built flagship Volkswagen dealership in Chelmsford, Essex. A ceiling mounted projector beams streaming video designed to educate, entertain and inform customers of the latest Volkswagen offers and information, which is controlled by Volkswagen UK head office in Milton Keynes. Positioned above an open atrium on the ground floor, the giant screen is intended to catch the customer's eye and drive traffic upstairs to peruse the used car stock.
The second Vikuiti screen, this time using the film version, has been installed as a pilot in the showroom window of the Volkswagen dealership in Milton Keynes. Combined with an interactive touch foil, the 40in 4:3 screen empowers customers to access and navigate the Volkswagen website to view or configure cars stocked locally and nationally in their own time simply by touching the screen. This is especially appealing for those potential customers that do not wish to speak to a salesman and tend to visit the showroom out of hours for peace and quiet.
The two digital displays were installed by CGI who are designers, manufacturers and installers of graphics and signage to the transport industry sectors, including automotive, aircraft and leisure-related transport such as boats, caravans and motorbikes. The company recently ventured into the digital signage marketplace as a reseller of 3M and is receiving great interest in Vikuiti Rear Projection Displays from customers, primarily in the automotive market.
