One might have thought the shape-shifting LED display that Coca-Cola put in Times Square was such a disaster, as innovations go, that the market for such a product was created and killed in a matter of weeks. […]
Hat tip to John Baggot of ComQi for pointing me to this … If you have been around digital signage for a few years, you’ve seen periodic attempts by companies to show glasses-free 3D displays, or holographic-ish stuff that could only be viewed by staring inside boxes. I’ve even, recently, seen glasses-free 3D LED displays. Which, by the way, looked horrendous. […]
This is a slick interactive application that uses 3D printed miniatures of landmark buildings in Singapore to explain the building technologies behind them, by placing the miniatures on a touchscreen that has built-in optical marker recognition capability. The project is for the Building and Construction Authority of Singapore. […]
LA-based Provision Interactive Technologies has done a partnership that will see its 3D holographic display and point-of-sale coupon system added to some 300 Coinstar money-counting kiosks in the U.S. before the end of this year. […]
A spin-off from HP Labs is working with RED – the high-def digital camera guys – to release a smartphone that features a holographic display – a glimpse at tech that also has digital signage touted as a use-case. Red Digital Cinema is working with Leia Inc on what’s being billed as the world’s first lightfield “holographic” smartphone – the HYDROGEN ONE. […]
Hologram is up there with artificial intelligence as one of the most abused terms in tech these days – with all kinds of stuff being labelled as holograms when they’re nothing more than reflections or projections. […]
Note: Not a shot from the Ohio drug chain. LA-based Provision Interactive Technologies continues to find clients that get excited about its technology that shows consumer floating products in mid-air, as a carrot to get shoppers to use a coupon center. The company has announced a deal to put its proprietary 3D Savings Center kiosks inside Discount Drug Mart stores around Ohio. […]
I’ve seen lots of transparent LCDs and no end of mostly crappy glasses-free 3D displays (though the 3D I saw at ISE was quite good), but I’ve not seen a take on three-dimension digital displays that mashed a transparent screen with a regular panel at the back. […]
Hong Kong-based Marvel Digital Limited will be at CES next week showing off a video wall that blends ultra narrow bezel displays with glasses-free 3D. Putting nine panels in a 3 by 3 set-up will result in a 138-inch diagonal digital canvas, which the company will have at booth 30264, South Hall 3, at the Las Vegas Convention Centre. […]
