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.

Turns out that 14-foot LED selfie head isn’t the only big digital feature turned on at the convention center in Columbus, Ohio. There’s also a 7-foot tall by 60 wide fine pitch LED wall in the building, put together by solutions provider Coffman Media and running Signagelive’s CMS. […]
I like how fine pitch, flexible LED is making for some highly creative displays – like this giant head that opened its eyes last night at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, in Columbus, Ohio.
