So much has happened on the software and computing side of the digital signage business in recent years that I think we tend to overlook how much has also happened on the display side. When I got into this business 16 years ago LCD panels were small and crazily expensive, and the big flat panels were $10,000 40-inch plasma displays that weighed roughly as much as oil tankers. […]

In the world of technology, while the pace of innovation always accelerates, true disruption simply does not come along every day.

Here’s a very nice, very different take on using LED boards along highways. Instead of endless ads for lawyers and auto dealers and casinos, this vertical LED totem that just lit up in Almaty, Kazakhstan runs traffic information.

A new San Francisco eatery called Eatsa has gone as far as I have ever seen integrating digital into its customer experience – actually removing visible staffing from the mix.
