In photos: Tour Target’s new Internet of Things concept store

Many of the products demonstrated in the Target Open Home are available for sale at Target, and all of them are for sale right there at the exhibit, as shown here. I saw plenty of people browsing but no one buying. Still, that’s not really the point. According to one sales person recently relocated from Target HQ in Minnesota, the real point is to demonstrate the potential for the technology, to Target, to device makers, to the tech industry, and to potential buyers, not to drive massive sales from a single location. There are no current plans to expand the project to other cities.
