The London Underground many years ago took on what I think were the first digital escalator panels – a cascading series of synchronized displays in the escalator wells of the subway system. […]
Guest Post: Curtis Campbell, Hughes Virtually everywhere we look, we see divisions. Be it politics, how to raise children, dogs versus cats, there never seems to be a winner-take-all argument. And digital signage technology is no different. For a few years now, signage buyers have been presented with an alternative to external digital signage players – namely SoC (System On Chip) and digital signage running on SmartTV displays. […]
The OOH media firm Intersection has landed a new seven-year media concession with NJ TRANSIT that will include a significant investment on digital signage and interactive displays. […]
As someone who got started in digital signage 20 years ago by putting screens in skyscraper elevators – single 12-inch screens that cost $2,500 each – it’s a little freaky to read about an elevator that has its walls and ceilings all lined with 55-inch OLEDs. This is a 360 video – you have to watch on your smartphone to get the 360 effect. Online, it looks very weird. […]
This is what’s called the World’s Largest Space Shop, a renovated 15,372 sq. ft. retail space at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex on Florida’s east coast. […]
Some US LED sign manufacturers started making noises a couple of years ago about competing manufacturers – especially those from China – were selling product that did not comply with US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations. […]
Turns out the screens are as bad as the germaphobes expected – with fecal material traces (aka poop) showing up on every screen tested. Among the nasty stuff found on screens: Coliforms, Staphylococcus aureus pseudomonas, Listeria, Enterococcus faecalis, Proteus and Bacillus. […]
A lot of the larger LED companies – particularly ones from China – have been going after the control room market with its finest pitch LED product, the thinking being large public and private companies might have deeper pockets than retail and other vertical industries. […]
One of the buzziest impressions from the recent GITEX trade show in Dubai – a very large, by the looks of it moderately crazy variation on CES – was the way, way, way over-the-top ETISALAT booth – with the telecoms company having LED everywhere, and a flying car (only kinda sorta – it appeared to be a very expensive balloon). […]
This is a new shopping mall – Torrecardenas – in Almeria,Spain, on the south coast, about 200 km east of Malaga (if that means anything to you). The mall developers went very big on direct view LED on a curved wall by the main entry point. […]
Nike late last week opened the doors to what it calls “House of Innovation 000” – a new six-level flagship store at 650 Fifth Avenue in New York that is built around making shopping largely frictionless, and uses a lot of screens. […]
Guest Post: Ellyce Kelly, Visix “Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.” – Alexander Graham Bell After spending a significant amount of time and money planning and choosing your digital signage system – hardware, software, subscriptions, content strategy, staff to manage it, etc. […]
I’m a total sucker for flip disc displays – electro-mechanical signs that rapidly flip through a succession of characters to convey information in a way that’s old school cool, and kind of hypnotic. The tech is not new. These sorts of signs have been in airports and rail stations since the ’60s. […]
This is one of those projects that treads the line between light and signage – though I’d probably argue it’s much more about lighting. But very smart lighting, that is visualizing data. So kinda signage. […]
Guest Post: Daniel Waldron, Armagard Protecting your digital signage is a necessity. The risks and consequences of not protecting your displays include weather damage, vandalism and theft. Knowing what your digital signage is up against underlines the value of protecting your displays. […]
