ASI Debut Creates Advance Orders for uWink Design'R Bear
uWink, Inc., an innovative technology-based entertainment commerce (ENcommerce) company, yesterday announced that it has received initial purchase orders in advance of its scheduled release next month of its uWink Design'R Bear™ interactive vending system, which debuted last week at the Amusement Showcase International Show in Las Vegas, NV.
uWink Design'R Bear is an interactive vending experience with touch screen technology that allows customers to choose a cream, white, tan or black plush teddy bear and then "dress" the bear from a choice of outfits and accessories. Customers can see on screen just how their bear will look as they select from a large variety of separates and accessories including jeans, polo shirts, hoods, love beads, wire rim glasses and sneakers. Themed bears are available as well, including bride, groom, fireman, cheerleader, soccer player and more.
Bears and their user-customized assortment of accessories are vended from a 9-foot-high cabinet designed to attract and entertain throughout the customer's purchasing experience. uWink Design'R Bears are delivered using DynaShrink, a patent-pending technology that allows the bear to be compressed into a very small, easily vended footprint package, without losing its vibrancy or fluffiness, even after 30 days of shelf life. Multiple patents are pending on uWink Design'R Bear, its software, processes and vending machine.
Nolan K. Bushnell, founder and CEO of uWink, said, "We took our time to create, research and properly develop the uWink Design'R Bear system, allowing us to build what we believe is the best multimedia entertainment vending system in the industry. uWink Design'R Bear is a state of the art, technology-driven vending system - from the touch screen software and sounds, to the DynaShrink delivery technology – that features quality plush and hip apparel, and utilizes a Bluetooth™ enabled stock replenishment system that will allow operators to maximize their earnings."
Bushnell expects that uWink Design'R Bear, which provides substantial entertainment value as well as the certainty of vended product each time, will be placed in retail locations including malls, restaurants and convenience stores and entertainment venues such as movie theaters, arcades and stadiums.
