Via PSFK This is a clever use of augmented reality that happily doesn’t require the experience to happen through the lens of a smartphone screen. The French supermarket chain Système U used gesture cameras, software and a large video wall at a store to deliver a fun way of communicating the origins of some of its key products. […]
Here’s a nice infographic ROI-modeling digital menu boards that was passed along by Neil Maycock of Allsee Technologies, a UK-Chinese company that makes a broad range of digital signage displays. […]
There are things you want to inherit when you acquire another company, but a penchant for red ink is probably not among them.

I’m very pleased to say the line-up is now fully set for DSrupted, which is set for Sept. 16th in Toronto. We’ve got a great line-up and a big highlight, I suspect, will be a talk by Martin Porter, Senior VP and Group Director for Posterscope, one of the biggest digital OOH agencies out there. […]

BlueBite works on the edges of the digital signage and digital OOH spaces enabling interactivity from displays and static posters to mobile devices. This is a sizzle reel the NYC-based interactive company has just put out that nicely shows some of the real world, pragmatic possibilities for stuff like NFC tags. […]
TransitScreen COO Ryan Croft with Deputy Mayor Denzil Minnan-Wong The City of Toronto has started a pilot with TransitScreen to try out a couple of real-time transportation displays in city-owned buildings. […]
