Window Optimisation - Caring for Pets
The offline shop pet display area encounters the phenomenon of users who are tapped, essentially wanting to gain interaction with their pets, but actually causing harm to them. Here an interactive ball is designed that can be pulled by a string to interact with the pet in the pod.
You can also scan the 2D code in the window to get the information you want without consulting a shop assistant.
