Beautify Boarded Windows with Wi-Fi
As businesses across the U.S. navigate recent civil unrest, the boarding up of store windows is the defacto (cheap and quick) way to protect storefronts. Urbanists have long known how boarding has negatively impacted neighborhoods where the visual cues make it feel neglected and abandoned.
For the better part of a decade, BID's have turned to murals and artwork to beautify wooden boards and empower business owners and communities alike.
One innovative way to expand on boarded windows with murals is to incorporate a Wi-Fi system that telecasts holographic images. Having a holographic mural system supported by Wi-Fi (or Private LTE) improves on the traditional experience in a few ways:
BID's can represent a series of local artist vs. a single artist
BID's and Muni's have better control of the brand and brand experience
Artwork and time-sensitive information are communicated, simultaneously including social distancing reminders.
QR codes added so that the artist(s) can receive donations and financial contributions.
There are several other advantages; including BID/Muni can leverage a long-term communication asset. The same Wi-Fi system or Private LTE system can be used for marketing, supporting events, safe and clean team communication, and to support pedestrian counters, to name a few.
