As a part of CoRE Tech 2019, ESI Design’s Associate Director of Physical Design, Matt Weisgerber, is participating in two events exploring innovation in corporate real estate: a panel on leveraging LED technology, as well as a talk and tour.  

What to Expect: Leveraging LED Technology – Creating a Visual Immersive Experience

Everyone these days is talking about creating an ‘experience’. Office, retail, hospitality and mixed-use projects are looking to go beyond traditional design and amenities to attract, engage and retain occupants and guests. Water fountains and artwork are being augmented by digital experiences to entertain, excite and inspire. This trend started with flat screens on walls and has evolved into a much more sophisticated experience. LED walls – embedded into traditional design, combined with high resolution, visually stunning changing media – can change the entire experience of a space with the touch of a button or command from an algorithm. This exciting segment will showcase examples of the technology that can be utilized in a Corporate environment.

What to Expect: Talk and Tour of eBay Main Street

eBay Main Street is the hub of eBay’s headquarters. Designed by ESI Design, it’s the building that gave eBay a “new front door” to welcome employees and guests after the company spun off PayPal. The centerpiece of Main Street is a 15-foot touchscreen wall where visitors can explore real time information on how many items have sold in a specific category, which is framed by 10-foot-tall digital columns that play sales-related and ambient content. The lobby also features two interactive touch screens at reception used to explore eBay People, Products, and Impact. On our tour we’ll also see the Main Hall, a 7,150 sq. ft. meeting and event space, featuring an enormous multi-screen display that supports presentations and webcasts. If we’re lucky, we’ll get a peek at the three state-of-the-art executive conference rooms equipped with collaborative work technologies.
