Overview - A reception that demonstrates the product before anyone speaks
A connected digital signage installation for Sungrow’s new offices — reception display, a sensor-driven product kiosk on sliding rails, a touchscreen that extends into VR, and a large-format LED videowall.

Overview
A reception area is a difficult brief. It is the first thing every visitor sees, it has to work unattended, and it usually has to explain a product that is far too large — or far too technical — to put on a table.
Sungrow works in power and energy technology, where the hardware itself rarely fits in a lobby. The reception in their new offices needed to carry that story on its own: engaging enough that a waiting visitor explores it, robust enough to run all day without a member of staff standing next to it.
Rather than treat the space as four separate screens, we designed it as one installation with a shared content system behind it, built on PADS4 and driven by Nexmosphere sensors.
What we installed
- Reception display
- Interactive product kiosk
- Nexmosphere position sensors
- Sliding rail system
- Touch screen display
- LED videowall
- PADS4
- Content management
The reception display handles the everyday job well — greeting visitors, showing the day’s meetings and carrying company messaging — and shares its content source with everything else in the room, so nothing has to be updated twice.
The interactive product kiosk is the piece visitors remember. The screen physically slides along a rail, and Nexmosphere sensors track where it is. Move it along the rail and the content changes to match the product it is sitting in front of. There is no menu to learn and no button to press: the gesture of moving the screen is the interaction, which is why people who would never walk up to a touchscreen will use it.
The touchscreen and VR station lets a visitor explore content on the display and then step into the same material in three dimensions using Meta Quest 3 headsets. It answers the problem that started the brief — how to show equipment at genuine scale in a room that could never physically hold it.
The LED videowall provides the immersive moment. Large-format, high-impact content that sets the tone of the space and gives the reception something worth looking up at.
Partnership
The installation was delivered with KITT Engineering, who handled engineering and integration, and Laarhoven Design, whose work shaped the physical design of the space around the technology rather than bolting screens onto a finished room.
That sequence matters. The sliding-rail kiosk only works because the joinery, the rail and the sensor placement were designed together with the content — a decision that has to be made early, and cannot be retrofitted.
