You’d think when a top five global brand has a dismal failure with its splashy, expensive and very high profile robotic LED display, that would get around to the potential user base and put the brakes on other deep-pocketed companies trying the same thing. […]
In the last two or three years there has been a pretty big shift by the main display manufacturers to bring CMS software companies on to their “smart” signage screens, so it’s interesting to see Sharp’s UK Business wing announcing it is partnering to re-sell a platform that has a separate, proprietary standalone player. […]
Guest Post: Derek DeWitt, Visix If you want to use a computer or other digital device, you have to interact with it in some way. There’s a whole discipline devoted to this, called Human-Computer Interaction, or HCI (though sometimes it’s called CHI, putting the computer first). […]
Guest Post: Bryan Crotaz, Silver Curve Bryan Crotaz I’ve been on the jury of five European digital signage awards over the past 10 years, and I’ve seen the same simple mistake over and over again. I’ll let you into the judging room secrets here if Dave will allow me to divulge. The rules for the jury are simple. […]
I wouldn’t want the job of trying to boil down what Mad Systems does to an elevator pitch, unless it was a very tall building with a very slow elevator. Based in Orange County, California, Mad Systems is technically an AV system designer and integrator, but these are not the guys you’d hire to put in some video-conferencing gear and some screens in the lobby.

This will likely get me in all kinds of shit, but … I was in New York this week for the first part of what has been invented, branded and built up as New York Digital Signage Week, moderating a couple of panels and eating and drinking up a storm at various social gatherings. […]
It’s now really common that businesses of all sizes and types who decide to deploy some sort of digital signage network look to a solutions provider who will not only help put it in, but help the client go from the idea stage all the way through to ongoing operations. Effectively, they’re outsourcing the whole shooting match to people who know what they’re doing. […]

This is the newly-opened innovation store/store of the future for Vitamin Shoppe, which sells guess what. The store in Edgewater, NJ (pretty much across the Hudson from the Harlem district of NYC) has been updated with a new design and layout, but I mention this job because the store does a couple of things with digital display. […]
Heavy traffic, every day, for posts on Raspberry Pi options and free digital signage software tell me there is a substantial constituency out there that does not want to pay market prices for mainstream digital signage technology. […]
