The great folks at Minneapolis-based Screenfeed have been working on something since last October with the National Center for Mission & Exploited Children in the U.S. Using an API from the center, Screenfeed has built a content feed of kids that are missing, based on the location. […]
Here’s another example of how big fine-pitch LED video walls are the 2019 version of 1980s and 90s water features in office tower lobbies. The property owners for 28 Liberty in New York wanted a visual solution that reinvigorated the space and, more to the point, made tenants want to move in and existing ones decide to stay. […]
The Dutch software company NDS has been offering a digital signage software solution for 25 years now, and like the handful of other companies that have been around this business that long, they’ve survived and grown based on the ability to do certain things very well. In the case of NDS, the company’s roots and core business are at airports. […]

If you’ve been to the Salesforce headquarters in San Francisco, or certain resort casinos, you will have seen and been blown away by giant virtual waterfalls that appear on LED walls and wash down, over and around things like entryways. It’s kind of amazing, and way beyond much of what you see on big digital canvases – like big 4K stock videos or graphics. […]
This is an information-rich digital sign on Chile’s Santiago Metro. It runs ad messaging and educational messages, but what I like is the amount of detail in the train status messaging. The city’s transit system is using DENEVA, the transit-focused digital signage system developed by Spain’s ICON Multimedia. […]
The French software firm Intuiface is the latest vendor in the digital signage ecosystem to add analytics capabilities to its overall offer – though in this case it is less about viewer movement and time as it is about the specifics of interactive display sessions. […]
Guest Post: Kaijus Asteljoki, Valotalive Digital signage content strategy helps you outline the plan for a successful implementation and to maximize the impact of the investment. With proper planning you can also avoid the possible simple mistakes. […]
Mass transport data is some of the stickiest content out there for digital signage screens. It’s information people tend to want and need, and they’ll habitually look at screens to get it. Tapping into the open data from one transport authority, to show it on screens, is relatively easy. […]
Nike late last week opened the doors to what it calls “House of Innovation 000” – a new six-level flagship store at 650 Fifth Avenue in New York that is built around making shopping largely frictionless, and uses a lot of screens. […]
I’m a total sucker for flip disc displays – electro-mechanical signs that rapidly flip through a succession of characters to convey information in a way that’s old school cool, and kind of hypnotic. The tech is not new. These sorts of signs have been in airports and rail stations since the ’60s. […]
This is one of those projects that treads the line between light and signage – though I’d probably argue it’s much more about lighting. But very smart lighting, that is visualizing data. So kinda signage. […]
Via Curbed LA One of the more recognizable buildings in downtown Los Angeles – the Walt Disney Concert Hall – is getting projection-mapped later this month to celebrate the start of the LA Philharmonic’s new season. […]
If finding a free half-hour to talk is any indication, Refik Anadol is one busy, popular guy right now. That likely owes a lot to the mind-blowing data visualization work he’s been doing lately in public spaces. He’s a Turkish-born digital media artist who now has a busy studio in Los Angeles doing what he calls parametric data sculptures for public art spaces. […]
A damaged connectivity cable has taken the flight information display boards offline at London Gatwick Airport today, forcing airport staff to – honest – get out the dry erase markers and scribble information on whiteboards. […]
