When I get asked about digital signage installations that I think really have it together, I tend to talk about Microsoft’s retail stores, and more recently, the crazy one by many 100s video wall at the check-in counters at Orlando’s airport. Turns out both projects were pulled together by Synect Media, a Seattle-area agency that is as much an integrator as it is a creative design studio. […]
Been a while since I looked at stats, and happy to see 16:9 Podcasts is now past 200,000 downloads spread across 77 episodes. That’s probably nothing by the standards of big, big podcasts, but a lot more than I expected. So thanks for downloading and listening. […]

Personalized RFID check-in, transparent OLED, a 30-foot projection screen and virtual reality. That’s just some of what the Minnesota Vikings put in place as the NFL team moved into its new U.S. Bank Stadium in 2016. […]
Chicago-based Outcome Health is having a bit of a bad press day after the Wall Street Journal published this afternoon the results of a five-month look into the digital OOH media company, with the story suggesting the company misled the media value of its network to its core advertising clients.

I don’t think I’ve seen anything quite like this – a store facade in a shopping mall that is all LED, front and sides. This is the new Superdry shop at London Heathrow terminal 3 – so it’s airport retail. Only information I have is that it opened in July and is “doing well,” reports TR Business. […]
