Project Details

In order to help customers gain an understanding of the amazing 3M technologies, a new 3M Innovation Center was constructed in St. Paul Minnesota.

Guests are greeted by a dark room and an overhead dome presentation. As the presentation is concluding, color coded light towers illuminate and flash then dim and the main lighting comes on. As the guests leave the domes area they walk towards several marble covered large format touch screen interactives where they can learn more about what technology is on display in the room. As they make color coded choices, the corresponding light towers illuminate next to the technology display location. Around the perimeter of the vast room are additional touch screen interactives highlighting various 3M technologies. I was responsible for the development and installation of the interactives.

Building construction was ongoing during the interactives installation, so I have included a walk through video below from GOCO, the company we worked with on this project. I’ve even included a picture of me with my hardhat on.

Experience Overview

The interactives at The 3M Innovation Center use a touchscreen interface. Some examples of the features and hardware are:

  • Large format displays with marble table overlays
  • Admin screen for on site updates
  • Programmatically triggered integration with various lighting systems
  • Various informational touchscreens throughout
