What is the Meta Display trend?

Meta Display: Realizing the need to go beyond traditional product display, brands are turning to large-scale aesthetics to help make the buying experience more experiential. Crafting displays within displays to create a more immersive consumer experience, brands are using over-arching shelves and booths to create their own world within supermarkets and store aisles, allowing buyers to temporarily immerse and surround themselves with a brand.
