Stumbled across this interesting new product being marketed by Epson – a laser projector that’s set up like a ceiling spotlight, but intended to show full visuals, as opposed to simply illuminating an area.

What’s interesting to me is how the digital signage is not just the menu boards, but also the headers for the concessions – which allows the venue operator to rebrand a stand pretty much on the fly.

About 18 months ago, Sixteen:Nine first looked at the state of smart displays and raised the question of whether digital signage displays with embedded System on Chip (SoC) players inside represented the future path for the industry.
