In the exhibition, we can incorporate interactive experience and AR experience zone to drive the traffic, hence fulfilling the goal of branding more easily.

In exhibition design, we can take advantages of the interactive AR applications to reach this goal and finally meet the needs from the customers.

Experiential Marketing Examples
Recently, if your booth has interactive applications, the traffic is going to flow in continuously. Among all the fun, somatosensory interaction, augmented reality, AR business applications are the commonly seen and widely used in the market. On a creative level, Biome did a really great job by cooperating with us and made this interactive AR experience application from scratch.
With this game, Bionime is able to demonstrate a potential using situation for blood sugar meter, and the player would be introduced into an immersive environment to learn about the products with our game; consequently, we can welcome more traffic into the booth.
King One Design worked with HSBC and created a fun AR interactive experience exhibition games in Fintech Taipei. Through interactive animated game, visitors could learn about HSBC’s new global visa card, credit card, and smart investment platform.
Apart from structure design and construction methods, we believe it is also critical to be aware of how to create an interactive experience with booth itself. Throughout the experience of visiting the booth, the attendees undergo the whole new immersive environment, leaving a stronger and better user experience.
TAITRA presented the theme of “SMART RETAIL,” bringing the whole shop into the CES exhibition hall. Visitors would see the exact same interior design of a real store from Taiwan. The wooden texture pillars and walls added the warmness to the booth. The eye-catching fascia sit on the one side of the booth, drawing attention with its shiny graphics. Following the guide of the fascia, the visitors got the chance to both shop as a customer and operate the smart retail system as a clerk at the same time!
King One Design, together with XSG, participated in G2E Asia and G2E Las Vegas. We brought the concept of contextual design into the booth and helped XSG to build an outstanding booth with eye-catching banner. By creating a simulated and contextual environment, the attendees are more likely to relate themselves to the products and brand, both emotionally and physically, creating better user experience without the need of staffs explaining so much on set.
Contextual Design is not necessarily a must-do for an exhibitor to think about, but it does bring a booth into another immersive environment with higher quality in better user experience. And everyone knows, the better user experiences are, the easier to bring in the traffic, so now it’s just obvious that you could consider using the contextual design in your next booth, isn’t it?
