Umpqua’s signature store is a great concept of modern digital signage. Pretty much the best we have seen in 2013. The concept engages with customers, by-passers and the community. Interactivity in the shop window is limited to twitter omitting the need for touch screens. The multi touch walls in the lobby feature a wide variety of general interest content focusing on non-personal information which are not suited for large screens in public.
