May 18, 2006 The opening of the Digital Retailing Expo in Chicago today will see the launch of the World's first mobile-enabled digital interactive mannequin. The digital mannequin allows consumers to customize the model's clothes displayed on the screen using their cell phones as a remote control. The technology enables consumers to use their mobile phone like a remote control to surf or communicate with large screens in storefront windows, cafes, bars or city streets and converts passive out-of-home networks into interactive marketing networks, creating a closed loop between the web, mobile phones and retail spaces.
