My first project at Visual Productions (Bluewater) was the Plymouth Place Tech Cart.
This was a custom designed kiosk with interactive touch screens on either end of the cart and a printer pod on top.
The software allowed you to browse models of Plymouth cars and get model specific information.
The cart was designed with removable wheels and smaller caster type wheels on the bottom. The kiosk was transported in the back of minivans by removing the larger wheels and inserting lift bars to hoist and roll the kiosk into the minivan on the smaller casters.
We built several hundreds of these and they were used at malls and auto shows in major cities like Detroit and Chicago.
