Guest Post: Luis Villafane, Maler An Open Letter to Digital Signage Display Manufacturers: This morning, I looked at myself in the mirror while shaving, and saw a ton of new white hair.

16:9: Leyard’s R&D Head Sam Phenix Dishes On LED, OLED, VR And Everything Display

I managed to squeeze in a few podcast interviews in and around ISE last week, and this is the first – a long-planned and finally realized talk with Sam Phenix, who is the VP of research and development for Planar and Leyard.

16:9: Why Can’t Digital Signage Hardware Protocols Make Sense?

Guest Post: Luis Villafane, Maler It’s been a while since Ive written anything for 16:9.  I guess the muse did not come to me until just now. Luis Villafane I’ve been keeping a low profile because I’ve just been very busy.  I did not go to ISE this year.  I wanted to go, I really did, but I just  could not make it. Too much work, too many children. […]

16:9: ISE 2019 – Final Thoughts and Impressions

Back at World HQ after a week in Amsterdam – and for the 2nd time in four ISE visits dealing with a whopper of a cold no doubt picked up when amongst 80,000 people. I have not seen formal attendance numbers, but assume foot traffic would be similar to or exceed 2018. It didn’t SEEM as busy, except for Wednesday, but the actual numbers will tell the story. […]

16:9: ISE 2019 Impressions From Day 2: Waves Of People, Drinks, Awards

This will be terse, as Wednesday was a full day at ISE 2019 – meetings, podcast interviews, booth tours, a mixer and an awards dinner. Crowd – It seemed slow-ish for a Tuesday but Wednesday was nuts … I’ve been subwaying it to the RAI but a breakfast in central made it necessary to Uber to the venue. Eventually, I got out and walked. […]

Day 1 is done and dusted at Integrated Systems Europe in Amsterdam, and I am happily back at my hotel, dodging extracurricular bad behavior in the hopes of actually-maybe getting a decent sleep.

16:9: Lava Flows, Fluid Mechanics And The Deep Science Behind Video Wall Waterfalls

If you’ve been to the Salesforce headquarters in San Francisco, or certain resort casinos, you will have seen and been blown away by giant virtual waterfalls that appear on LED walls and wash down, over and around things like entryways. It’s kind of amazing, and way beyond much of what you see on big digital canvases – like big 4K stock videos or graphics. […]
