This is the lobby of 100 Biscayne Boulevard in Miami – a commercial office tower just across the road from the big Bayfront urban park and entertainment area downtown. The 30-storey office block’s facelift includes a direct view LED feature wall that wraps around the entry to the elevator lobby. […]

When the 90 year old Harbord Diggers club in Sydney, Australia’s northern beaches area went through a massive redevelopment project, the backers wanted to have a digital centerpiece at the facility that told the club’s back story and present in a visually interesting and playful way. […]
NEC Display has pushed out an interesting case study that shows how an in-store video wall is being used to sell drones. The wall was put in by B&H Photo Video at its massive, always-jammed store on 9th Avenue in New York, near Penn Station and Hudson Yards. […]
This is a micro dealership/experience center for Renault, one of hundreds of dealer locations across Europe that are now running on Media4Display, the CMS platform marketed by France’s Telelogos. The software has replaced a previous solution that no longer met Renault’s needs, which included: A minimum of three tiers of management – Global, National, Dealers. […]
Matt Downey’s time in digital signage traces way, way back to the days when Premier Retail Networks was, by far, the big dog in putting screen networks in retail environments. His time with PRN – working with clients like Walmart – eventually led him into working directly for one of his big grocer clients. Not long after that, he took a leap and started his own company. […]
I kinda made the assumption Adobe Flash was ancient history for software companies in the digital signage ecosystem, but apparently not. The software firm Appspace just pushed out an interesting mass email to its contacts database that says the company happy to announce that by the end of this year, all Flash-based tools in Appspace will be replaced with the Appspace Progressive Web App (PWA). […]

A real testament to how much Lyle Bunn was liked and respected in this industry is the volume of comments the news on Saturday of his passing last week has generated here and, particularly, on Linkedin.

The French firm Intuiface has announced an interesting new partner program squarely aimed at interactive and experiential content designers. The Creative Experts program involves companies that offer experience content design services – who can be connected with end-users or other partners who effectively need someone to design and deliver what shows up on screens.

This is even weirder than the McCafe label thing … A Toronto reader snapped a shot at Yorkdale Mall in Toronto – arguably Canada’s ritziest shopping centre – that had a food court WSR vendor using a whole printed menu sign OVER the digital menu display. This was from about six weeks ago. Cheaper, I suppose, than replacing a dead screen/player, but really??? […]
We noted in August, as spotted by a reader, a McCafe in central NYC that was using electrical tape – instead of CMS software – to delete (OK, hide) menu items on a digital board. […]
The Czech software start-up signageOS has launched a software platform that enables established CMS software companies to add low-cost Raspberry Pi micro PCs to its range of media player options, without having to assign the necessary development resources to figure it all out and get it running.
