Screenfeed has done sports updates for as long as its been doing subscription content for digital signage networks, but the Twin Cities company is now offering sports video highlight, interview and commentary packages that are built around audio. […]
I liked this nice concept NEC had at its booth last week at InfoComm – a menu wall using projection on a textured, wood surface. This is very different from a row of LCD menus set together in an array. In this case, a laser projector beamed the menu options on a dark wood feature wall. […]
I thought this was an interesting way for a display company to show what pixel pitch differences mean, not only in the tightness of the image when seen from a distance (I was maybe 12-15 feet back) but also the brightness you get when you have more LEDs packed into a module. You can see the tightest pitch module is noticeably brighter. It also costs waaaaaay more than the one at the other end. […]
One interesting thing I spotted at InfoComm, which I don’t think I’ve seen before, was a dual-sided display in the Samsung booth. Now, back-to-back screens is not at all new. Digital OOH street furniture and mall directories are good examples of well-established use-cases. […]
Staying current on ALL of the different platforms and methods for planning, buying and placing digital OOH advertising is not easy, and I’ll admit I go a little cross-eyed trying to sort out the programmatic advertising offers of the various vendors who are directly or indirectly in the business. […]
This is a set of digital motion graphics art pieces running at the Dolby Gallery in San Francisco, on a 62-foot wide street-level LED in the lobby. Developed by Chicago experiential design agency Leviathan, Metamorphosis is described as an audiovisual odyssey that extracts brilliant color data from masterpieces of the past century to create an entirely new experience of art. […]
This is the screen-filled rail terminal for Miami Central – an 11-acre mixed use development and transit hub in that city’s downtown area. The rail terminal is the newly-opened Miami stop for Brightline, the only privately owned, operated and maintained intercity passenger train in the U.S. […]
This is the lobby of the 31-story CEB Tower in Arlington, Virginia, in the immediate orbit of Washington, DC. The building’s centerpiece visual is a 19 feet high by 38 feet wide 4mm pitch LED wall that fronts and wraps around the end of the facade of the elevator shaft. […]
This is a major branch of Arab National Bank in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with the digital components just completed and switched on by Dubai-based digital signage solutions firm 2point0 Concepts. The branch on Tahlia Street, which is Riyadh’s main shopping strip, has a big mix of direct view LED and interactive LCD screens. […]
Just-ended InfoComm show attracted nearly 43,000 registered attendees, up about 10 percent from the last time InfoComm was held in Las Vegas, in 2016. The crowd was just a bit less than Orlando 2017, which pulled 44,000. AVIXA, which runs the show, says InfoComm 2018 visitors hailed from all 50 United States and 108 countries, with 20 percent of attendees from outside the U.S. […]
LAS VEGAS – I didn’t think it was possible, but Fremont Street is even weirder than the last time I spent a night around there. The ride history feature on Lyft’s app is a very effective tool for dealing with the “What time did you get in?” question. […]
LAS VEGAS – It’s very hot. The Las Vegas Convention Center has renovated the food services area in the north and central hall areas so it looks more polished and the the options don’t all lead to desperation eating. But there’s still nowhere enough seating. […]
Anyone who works with creative teams knows there is no such thing as a content fairy. Video spots don’t magically appear in inboxes overnight. Somebody had to design and render that video, and that work, frankly, takes a while. […]
North American pros will get a first look this week at Infocomm at the transparent color LED film that LG first showed a few months ago at ISE in Amsterdam. The film is touted as a way to turn any window or glass surface into a customizable digital canvas. If you were at Infocomm a year ago in Orlando, and wandered into LG Land, you would have seen gray-scale transparent LED films. […]
Data visualization guru Mike Pell, who spoke a couple of years back at the DSrupted conference I ran in Toronto, talks about the difference between a visualization that is clearly beautiful, versus one that is beautifully clear. The big interactive agency SapientRazorfish is showing a digital installation this week at the Money2020 payments and financial services conference in Amsterdam. […]
