Guest Post: Debbie DeWitt, Visix It seems everyone these days is getting digital signage. But there are still some holdouts who have not yet realized the benefits a good system can offer an organization. Here are some common objections, and responses to them. […]
The UK start-up Lightvert has started calling its unique tech a new type of augmented reality – probably to help people wrap their heads around it – as part of a just-launched equity crowdfunding campaign. […]
This is a bonus edition. I did a pile of sit-down interviews last week in Amsterdam with different execs for full-length podcasts, and you will hear those over the next several weeks. I also did some stand-ups that are already live, with four already up. […]
For the last couple of years, 16:9 has provided free editorial space for exhibitors at Digital Signage Expo to tell readers why they should plan to stop by their booth at the show. That’s the deal again in 2017, and to streamline things at this end, I’ve set up an online form that will allow exhibitors to fill in the blanks and send it along to me. […]
Here’s my interview with Mr. DailyDOOH on the NEC stand at ISE last week, in which he refers to me as a “general dogsbody.” Had to look that up. […]
While away last week the last of the tickets for the 2017 16:9 DSE Mixer in Las Vegas were claimed, meaning the event is once again sold out. The registration site still lists sponsor tickets, but those are – wait for it – for the sponsors to assign to staff and customers. I will have a waiting list set up on the site this week, IF I figure out how to do that. […]
The final numbers suggest the 2017 edition of Integrated Systems Europe was a big success, with record crowds and exhibitors. Now back at World HQ (aka spare bedroom), and mostly sorted on my sleep cycles, here are some final thoughts about the biggest pro AV show on the planet. […]
I saw very little Wednesday because I was running around to various meetings, and most of free time was invested in figuring out where the hell I was. The venue for ISE is nicer in just about every respect than the big trade show halls in Las Vegas, New York and Orlando, the Amsterdam RAI has 14 halls, interconnected by a bewildering maze of hallways, steps, ramps and so on. […]
Tech giant Intel has announced a plug-in module spec and reference design – called the Intel Smart Display Module or Intel SDM – that is intended, at least in part, as an answer and alternative for all those display manufacturers shipping all in one displays using ARM-based system on chip processors. […]
When Samsung came out with its Smart Signage series in early 2013 there were lots of people casting serious doubts about the notion of all-in-one pro displays going anywhere. And the combination of underpowered processors and hard to work with software didn’t help boost much confidence. […]
Hughes is one of those big billion-dollar tech companies that have found their way into digital signage in recent years. Most of them come in making noise and exited quietly. But Hughes has stuck around. […]
Guest Post: Danica Trapara, Rise Vision As companies grow, it’s common for leaders to feel like they’ve lost touch with their employees or can’t keep internal messages organized and in control. It’s at this point the benefit of internal communications is really seen. Danica Trapara Internal communications teams are responsible for sharing a lot of different messages with employees. […]
Munich-based consulting and events firm invidis is running a half-day Digital Signage Summit next week in the midst of Integrated Systems Europe, with a series of industry experts from around the globe. The Digital Signage Summit is one of several events that are a joint venture between Integrated Systems Events and invidis. […]
The French digital signage software firm Telelogos is the latest platform to integrate with smart display software – in this case Samsung’s Tizen-driven Smart Signage displays. The company will be showing the integration with Samsung’s 4th-generation smart panels next week at ISE in Amsterdam. Its Media4Display software started on Windows, and then added Android and now Tizen. […]
Here are some images showing the impressive digital visual implementation at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The museum, which has a readily evident focus, first opened in Sept. 2014, but I THINK it has been steadily adding new galleries. […]
