The lion’s share of the buzz these days with LED displays is with the increasingly fine pitch modules that provide HD visuals even on outdoor jobs. But there’s a lot to be said for clever work that uses low-rez, anything but fine pitch, LED products to create a great visual experience. […]
If you’ve been at ISE in Amsterdam the last couple of years, and particularly the 2017 version, you will likely have noticed digital directional signs that are a bit of a hybrid of a street sign post and a wayfinding system. It’s a system I thought was really interesting, but wondered if there were real buyers out there for what is called iGirouette. […]
With the qualifier that my knowledge of international patent disputes is right up there with my depth of understanding of trends in women’s footwear, this nonetheless seems interesting – a U.S. LED display tech company winning a patent dispute with a Chinese competitor. […]
This is a media corridor opened up in August in Terminal 3 of Chongqing’s international airport. It may well be a city and airport many in the west only vaguely know about, but the southwestern China city has a population of more than 30 million (which is mind-wobbling). […]
The digital out of home media industry has been growing rapidly, and as awareness has built, there’s been more and more of a push from brands and media buyers to provide better, deeper detail on the actual audience. The old way of selling audience for outdoor was gross traffic counts and extrapolations on what they meant. […]
This is the new Home of Champions hall of fame-ish center at Stanford University – an old basketball gymnasium in the athletic department’s building on campus that is now a central showcase for the school’s sports teams and individual athletes. Opened to the public in September 2017, the museum now houses over 40 displays celebrating the school’s sports history. […]
One of the top companies in big digital canvas creative, San Francisco’s Obscura Digital, has been acquired by the sports and entertainment firm The Madison Square Garden Company. Obscura will become part of MSG Ventures, MSG’s technology group. […]
Setting the undoubtedly polarizing politics aside, a media buy involving a couple of big digital boards in Times Square looks interesting for what it is doing with visualized data. Maybe the content presentation is canned in some way, but it LOOKS like a private U.S. […]
Via Linkedin This is the renovated Axiom Telecom store in Dalma Mall in Abu Dhabi – which has a Microsoft Store-like approach to LCD displays not just being screens on walls, but largely being the walls. I like. Axiom is a big retailer and distributor of wireless products in the region. […]
I’ve seen no end of photos and videos of “magic” mirrors for fashion retailing applications, and one or two for hotel rooms, but this is the first suggestion of how an LCD mirror display with a touch overlay could be used in health and fitness. […]
There is so much fine pitch LED stuff going in as video walls these days that it is easy to forget about other ways of doing a big digital canvas, like projection. This is a project in Seattle in a building owned by Starbuck’s – but it is NOT the head office, just commercial property the coffee giant owns. […]
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. […]
This is the new Arizona State University Beus Center for Law in downtown Phoenix,, which includes three very different video walls put in by integrator Level 3 Audiovisual. […]
This is a set of rotating screens on pylons in a public park/square in Shandong, China, which is between Beijing and Shanghai. The watermark on the video clearly shows it is a Unilumin LED product. It’s interesting. […]
The Digital Signage Federation has just sent out a link to its membership to vote for the next three weeks on new at-large members of the Board of Directors. There are lots of great industry people on the slate … and me. I don’t think I’ve run for election to anything, ever … or at least I don’t recall. […]
