I walked through Target&#x27;s Open House in SF a few weeks ago; I&#x27;d recommend visiting if you&#x27;re in the area. It&#x27;s pretty slick product display space. Each &quot;room&quot; has a projector which gives an overview of four or five products in a room, and how they tie together in your life. One of the rooms had a Kinect mounted above next to the projector; not sure what it was being used for.<p>The main lobby has a couple long tables with all of the products on display which were demo&#x27;d in the rooms along with some interactive Surface-like table which detects if you get near it and moves floating sprites around. They had displays on the wall listing the most popular products, and a few sales people to answer questions. IIRC there were approx 40-50 products displayed. Kudos to Target for setting the space up.<p>Everything being sold felt they&#x27;d fit perfectly inside of a Brookstone, or Sharper Image when they still had retail stores. Most of them were &quot;vitamin&quot; products rather than &quot;aspirin&quot;, which  gives way to some of Allison Arieff&#x27;s criticism in the article: &quot;What the products on display have in common is that they don’t solve problems people actually have.&quot;<p>That&#x27;s very fair to say. There were a few items which did solve real problems, like Nest which can help reduce heating costs, but most things sold didn&#x27;t fit into that category. Many were &quot;neat&quot; things which you could entice someone with disposable income to splurge on.
