eBay Main Street
Going once, going twice…sold! At eBay’s San Jose headquarters, called "Main Street," data is more than numbers on a screen—it’s the heartbeat of a global marketplace. Immersive media installations designed by NBBJ’s experience design studio, ESI, transform real-time transactions into vivid storytelling that reveals eBay’s global reach and captures its forward-thinking energy.
A dynamic mosaic at the front door showcases real-time statistics from eBay’s vast product transactions, alongside motion graphics and stories that spotlight its philanthropic reach and community impact. Inside, visitors are invited into the "Digital Bay," an immersive journey of buying and selling featuring projection mapping, moving screens and tactile interactives that bring to life the everyday connections forged on eBay—from rare collectibles to essential tools that power small businesses globally.
Features
Live transaction feeds show eBay’s scale in a dynamic, ever-changing mosaic that celebrates its vibrant marketplace. A 15-foot touchscreen wall allows employees and visitors to tap icons representing cars, shoes, handbags and other goods, then see how many items were sold in that category in the past few hours or days.
