The centerpiece of a $300 million reno job at the largest department store in Latin America – Al Palacio de los Palacios in Mexico City – is a full ceiling LED display. It’s meant as a budget-friendly and totally changeable alternative to a more traditional stained glass ceiling. […]
This is a terrific, very different way to use real-time data to drive home a compelling message for a brand – in this case a UK insurer that wanted to make small businesses aware of cyber-risks. […]
A Raspberry Pi-driven system that handles all the scoreboard and show controls for the famed Lord’s cricket grounds in London, UK, was the big winner in the Digital Signage Awards, handed out Wednesday at a special luncheon in Amsterdam. The awards, held during ISE and in collaboration with the invidis Digital Signage Summit, celebrate work done around the globe. […]
There’s no question that making a proper investment in creative is essential to successful digital signage networks, but there’s also no question that a lot of small businesses don’t have the budget for full motion graphic design work, or wouldn’t even know who to ask to do that work. […]
Twelve judges, under my maniacal chairmanship, scrutinized up to 30 entries each and awarded up to 100 points across six columns to help decide the 2018 Digital Signage Awards Finalists, as well as High Commendations and Category Winners. The winners will all be announced next week at ISE in Amsterdam, at a luncheon. […]
I spotted this video on Linkedin – a hologram projection thingie touted as being part of the restaurant of the future. […]
Hospital and clinic rooms are rarely places people like hanging around, and digital signage has long been seen as a way to distract and entertain patients, and their family or friends. A London-based solutions provider called OOHScreen has a very different take on what digital signage should look like and do in those places. […]
I’ll be out next week with a report on fine pixel pitch LED, with the key assertion that this tech will grow very, very common in parts of the world other than China and Hong Kong, where it is already everywhere. Here’s a good precursor to what’s coming – a fine pitch surround on an ATM in a commuter rail station. […]
Photo – realities:united I wrote recently about the mind-wobblingly stupid art installation installed but not activated at a new Toronto subway stop. The set-up would allow anyone to walk up to a kiosk and put up a brief eight-character message on a set of suspended lights. Naughty and nasty messages would, of course, ensue. […]
The Digital Signage Awards take place at ISE Amsterdam, immediately after the last session of the DS Summit on Wednesday, February 7. There will be a 45-minute presentation to the Winners followed by a buffet lunch that is ideal for relaxed networking. […]
Atlanta-based LED display company NanoLumens has added an art streaming platform called Loupe to its AWARE third-party app store, making it possible for end-users to populate their digital display installations with curated portfolios of photography and artwork collections. […]
Fantastic creative is at the heart of any great digital signage project, and when I am asked to rattle off the names of creative shops capable of doing top-level work, Moment Factory is automatically in there. […]
The judges for the Digital Signage Awards have put in their assessments and short lists have been developed across the various categories. The winners will be announced and awards handed out on February 7 at Integrated Systems Europe, as part of the trade show’s Digital Signage Summit. […]
Last night, on a very frigid New Year’s Eve, the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, Canada officially switched on a three-storey signature LED display called the Kipnes Lantern. It is the largest transparent LED screen in North America and fills the windows of the newly rejuvenated building in the capital city. […]
This is the Christmas projection mapping show running on the exterior of the Hogwarts Castle, which is the main feature (I think) of the Harry Potter attraction at the Universal Studios theme park in Orlando. It’s a seven-minute show that’s interesting, particularly, for the technical challenge of mapping digital visuals on a canvas that is anything but flat. […]
