16:9: Magna Puts Vast Immersive Meeting Space On Auto Plant Floor

This is a seriously whizzy-bangy meeting room space that’s interesting mainly because it is located in the heart of the production floor of a contract auto manufacturer. I’ve been in an auto plant and with everything happening, everywhere, it’s a dirty, power-spiking, really challenging place to be dropping in a lot of high-tech visual systems. […]

16:9 Spotted: Smart City Digital Signage In Montreal That’s Genuinely Smart

I had breakfast in Montreal with an industry friend yesterday, who filled me in on a project that genuinely addresses the notion of digital signage and smart cities. There are 100s of rectangular LED screens in the central business and tourist districts, some in stacks of two or three, telling motorists where parking lots are located and whether there are spaces available. […]

From The Archive: Chris Riegel On Growing His Stratacache Empire

It is VERY hard to find people working – full days, or at all – in the lovely, hot summer most of us are seeing in North America and Europe. A couple of podcast interviews have fallen through in recent days, so I decided to go into the archive and revive an episode from a couple of years back. […]

16:9: Tokyo’s Narita Airport Has Video Wall Ode To Toilets, Using Low-Rez LEDs And Fabric Panels

This is something called Luminous Textiles – a Philips product that blends multi-coloured LEDs with fabric panels. I’ve seen stuff a bit like this using relatively low-rez LED modules and a layer of film that diffuses and softens the light. In this case, it’s for a working exhibit at Tokyo’s Narita airport that celebrates toilets made by the Japanese company TOTO. […]

16:9: Why When It Comes To Digital Signage Screens, Bigger Isn’t Necessarily Better

When it comes to displays in digital signage, just about all the attention goes to screens that have steadily grown bigger, skinnier and brighter. Not a lot of attention or time has been spent on small screens – but there’s a real and growing market demand for displays in places like retail that don’t eat up all the merchandising space and better suit the store environment. […]

Here’s A 3D Hologram-ish Display That Actually Looks Good

Hat tip to John Baggot of ComQi for pointing me to this … If you have been around digital signage for a few years, you’ve seen periodic attempts by companies to show glasses-free 3D displays, or holographic-ish stuff that could only be viewed by staring inside boxes. I’ve even, recently, seen glasses-free 3D LED displays. Which, by the way, looked horrendous. […]

16:9: UK Sushi Chain Changes Up Menu Board Approach With Super-Stretched Displays

Here’s a nice implementation of digital menuboards in a fast food environment – changing things up with super-stretched displays and a bold, reasonably minimal content presentation – instead of many items wedged into limited visual space. The project involves the London, UK-based sushi and bento restaurant chain, Wasabi, at seven stores around that city. […]
