Haven’t seen this before … displays fixed above the food guards that you’ll find in cafeterias and buffets all over the place. New partnership between Denver-based school menu-maker Nutrislice and BSI Industries, who I can’t quite sort out from a bunch of BSIs that come up on Google. […]
Guest Post: Jeff Doud, MaxMedia Today’s consumers expect an experience. They don’t want to be sold stuff. Instead we should offer relevant lifestyle with usable chunks of information to provide context. […]
This is the last weekend to see what appears to be an amazing projection mapping effort on the underside of one of Vancouver’s main bridges The Cambie Bridge’s underside is transformed into a wild B.C. river that shows the journey of migrating sockeye salmon in a 25-minute show, using cinematography from three B.C. rivers that is then digitally mapped and projected on the concrete. […]
Via Installation A gallery in the ritzy Hamptons area of Long Island, NY has an exhibit running right now that builds big LED screens into the mix to show a series of digitally-generated waves. There is a pair of 15mm pitch LED walls on the gallery exterior visible to visitors and passing motorists, showing waves steadily crashing in. […]
Atlanta – Digital Signage Connection (DSC), the news and information portal supported by Digital Signage Expo as its year-round resource for digital signage professionals and end users invested in the digital signage space, announced the latest installment of its monthly webinar series will take place Thursday October 19, at 2 p.m. EDT.

Here’s video from that monster wraparound 8mm LED board that sparked up in Times Square this summer. Located at 701 7th Avenue (aka 20 Times Square), the wrap-around main screen is 91’4″ high and 186’4″ wide. Manufacturer/integrator SNA Displays says that makes it the largest 8mm outside LED board on the planet. […]
This is a public art installation somewhere in Switzerland. A water spout is sync’d with the content so it looks like the subject on the screen spitting out water is flying off the screen. Best opinion I can muster is: Hmmmm …. […]
A lot of companies run by creatives and software developers have found their way into the digital signage business on the backs of projects they delivered, but I wouldn’t really see that happening with a company that’s all about online payments. […]
Pretty much every convenience store I’ve been in, for almost 20 years doing this stuff, has left me shrugging about their digital signage effort – but the program put in by a travel stop chain called Love’s is an exception. It looks really good. And smart. […]
So when I saw video of the University of Texas Longhorns’ football locker room, with LCD screens over every locker, it occurred to me that this was going to be something that would get emulated by other schools. Turns out that U of T borrowed on something another big football program, Texas A&M’s Aggies, did three years ago. […]
Virgin Trains launched a dead-simple digital OOH campaign in the UK this week that very effectively uses real-time data to tell motorists crawling along choked motorways that’d they’d likely have been far wiser to take a train. […]
Guest Post: Richard Murton, Display Technology These days, the importance of engaging with customers is widely recognized – as is the ever-increasing difficulty of doing so. The simple fact of the matter is that customers are becoming highly expert at deploying their own, internal “anti-spam” filters, to deal with all the calls on their attention coming at them from all directions. […]
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. […]
Here’s an interesting example of how three-dimensional visuals and crazy idea can be baked into content and served up on a very unusual display canvas – in this case the central court of a monster cruise ship. This is a 25 foot tall vortex-shaped LED column in the atrium of the Carnival Vista, a ship in the Carnival cruise line fleet that first set sail a year ago. […]
Guest Post: Jeff Doud, MaxMedia Jeff Doud The bar is set so low. Everywhere you go, we are assaulted by clutter or what I would call “environmental hubbub.” Public spaces, retailers, malls, and lobbies often assume that their messaging or offers are the single most important component of their content strategy.
