Wayfinding Solution 22Miles

Wayfinding Solution with Touchless Digital Signage

Royal Hawaiian Center is the premier shopping and entertainment destination in the Waikiki neighborhood of Honolulu, Hawaii. The impressive mall features more than 310,000 square feet along a three-block stretch of Waikiki’s famed Kalakaua Avenue. With more than 100 shops and restaurants serving thousands of locals and tourists daily, an innovative technology solution was required that could empower guests to easily navigate and indulge while giving administrators the power to customize and make changes quickly. With Hawaii’s unpredictable seasonal weather, the solution would also need to hold up to the elements year-round, while providing easy access to engagement statistics.

The well-known shopping center’s recent $115 million dollar renovations included new construction and a visual makeover, and also ushered in the benefits of 22Miles digital signage technology. Mobile friendly contact-less interaction, paired with the company’s internationally known 3D interactive wayfinding, has helped to transform the dynamics of this Waikiki epicenter, providing visitors and residents accessible, safe engagement within a prominent public gathering space for entertainment and culture in Hawaii.

The launch of our 13 touch screen wayfinding kiosks with 22Miles software has created an international array of information at the touch of a finger. Guests can access immediate shopping and dining, have a touchless experience, or get interactive directions via text, offering real time information to thousands on a daily basis. The convenience of that immediate interactive solution for visitor needs is a great benefit to our customers.”  – Helene “Sam” Shenkus | VP/Director of Marketing – Royal Hawaiian Center — See Video

The curated user experience of Royal Hawaiian Center begins with 22Miles’ immersive 3D wayfinding experience.

As part of the award-winning PaaS (Protection-as-a-Service) suite initiative, 22Miles also provided Royal Hawaiian with a “Touchless Touch” option, where users can scan a QR code and interact with any of the facility’s four interactive screens on their own mobile device – providing a safer and more hygienic interactive experience.

Powering the shopping and entertainment center’s interactive navigation experience is 22Miles’ content management software, Publisher Pro.AioT. The technology eliminates uncertainty, saves time, and ensures optimum engagement for tourists, employees and local shoppers alike, helping them seamlessly navigate and interact with all facets of the retail and dining haven. The solution allows an endless array of visual communications options as the facility grows, allowing administrators to use the expansive digital signage platform to deliver news, social media, live notifications, emergency alerts, generate revenue from advertisements and infotainment, and take command of distributing any information they choose.
