# Interactive Shopping Touch Screens By thischick | Published 2007-03-25 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/very-cool-interactive-shopping-touch-screens References: [visualplanet.biz](http://www.visualplanet.biz/products/interactivescreens/) Interactive Planet wants businesses and organizations to optimize how they relate to the consumer. With a touch screen display panel, a consumer can shop even when the store is closed, or at least gather enough information to make a purchase when the store re-opens. It's not just about shopping either. Interactive touch screens on college campuses would provide students with invaluable resources and information such as directions and class schedules. Airports could be optimized with touch screens for specific flight information instead of browsing monitors full of flight schedules you don't need. It's an idea whose time has come, even if Star Trek did think of it eons ago. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 54% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [Retail](https://www.trendhunter.com/retail) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Interactive Shopping Touch Screens:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Retailers can leverage touch screen displays to enable consumers to shop outside of store hours. - **Interactive Touch Screens on College Campuses:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Educational institutions can utilize touch screens to provide students with useful resources and information. - **Optimized Airports with Touch Screens:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Airports can enhance the traveling experience by replacing monitors with touch screens for specific flight information. ### Where This Applies - **Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Retailers can adopt interactive shopping touch screens to improve customer engagement and expand sales opportunities. - **Education:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Educational institutions can integrate interactive touch screens on college campuses to enhance student experience and access to information. - **Travel and Hospitality:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Airports and airlines can optimize traveler experience by implementing touch screens for flight information and navigation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Touchscreen Retail Ordering Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microtouch-products.md) - [Interactive Smart Retail Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onq.md) - [Interactive Kiosk Content](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-dot-digital-media.md) - [Multichannel Wayfinding Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multichannel-wayfinding-solution.md) - [Digital Grocery Screens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kroger-2.md) - [Interactive Multipurpose Touchscreen Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hkmlc-smart-boards.md) - [Attention-Grabbing Retail Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auo.md) - [Outdoor Sales Kiosks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dynascan.md) - [Interactive Scenting Kiosks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scenting-kiosk.md)
