One of my big takeaways from the trade show circuit earlier this year was my conclusion that transparent LED was starting to look really good. If you’re not with me on what that is, think LED displays that are a bit reminiscent of window blinds, with the LED lights on the louvers. […]
A post the other day referenced shelf-edge display strips in a set of chiller fridges in the U.S., with my covering comment that I’d seen that sort of thing in trade shows but wondered if there were real-world deployments. That one was using LED strips. This one – at World Duty Free in London’s Gatwick airport – uses LCD strips. […]
If the video auto-plays, my apologies. I looked at the HTML and it didn’t give me any clues on how to shut that off! This is a new digital OOH advertising feature along the highway leading into Denver’s international airport, which is way, way, waaaaay east of the city. […]
This is a slick interactive application that uses 3D printed miniatures of landmark buildings in Singapore to explain the building technologies behind them, by placing the miniatures on a touchscreen that has built-in optical marker recognition capability. The project is for the Building and Construction Authority of Singapore. […]
I’ve seen a few companies at trade shows demo-ing LCD and LED ribbon displays intended for retail shelf edges, but can’t say I’ve seen any out in the real world. So it’s interesting to see this install – no word on whether this is a rollout or a one-shop demo – of a set of chiller fridges in a store equipped with LED shelf signs, marketing Arizona Dairy Farmers product. […]
If you’ve been at ISE in Amsterdam the last couple of years, and particularly the 2017 version, you will likely have noticed digital directional signs that are a bit of a hybrid of a street sign post and a wayfinding system. It’s a system I thought was really interesting, but wondered if there were real buyers out there for what is called iGirouette. […]
This is the new Home of Champions hall of fame-ish center at Stanford University – an old basketball gymnasium in the athletic department’s building on campus that is now a central showcase for the school’s sports teams and individual athletes. Opened to the public in September 2017, the museum now houses over 40 displays celebrating the school’s sports history. […]
Setting the undoubtedly polarizing politics aside, a media buy involving a couple of big digital boards in Times Square looks interesting for what it is doing with visualized data. Maybe the content presentation is canned in some way, but it LOOKS like a private U.S. […]
Via Linkedin This is the renovated Axiom Telecom store in Dalma Mall in Abu Dhabi – which has a Microsoft Store-like approach to LCD displays not just being screens on walls, but largely being the walls. I like. Axiom is a big retailer and distributor of wireless products in the region. […]
I’ve seen no end of photos and videos of “magic” mirrors for fashion retailing applications, and one or two for hotel rooms, but this is the first suggestion of how an LCD mirror display with a touch overlay could be used in health and fitness. […]
This is the new Arizona State University Beus Center for Law in downtown Phoenix,, which includes three very different video walls put in by integrator Level 3 Audiovisual. […]
A pair of well-established digital signage software firms across the Atlantic have announced integrations with Samsung’s Tizen-driven Smart Signage platform. The Dutch firm NDS has announced its flagship software PADS4 is the first software in the world that has been tested and approved by Samsung engineers to optimally run on Samsung’s System on Chip (SoC) solution. […]
There is no end of options for floor-standing digital signage displays being put together and shipped out of Guangdong, and they all pretty much look the same. Except this one. It’s an upside-down bottle shape, which is kinda clever. […]
Here’s a really good explainer video about the giant selfie head that switched on as an interactive art piece a few weeks ago at the newly-renovated Greater Columbus Convention Center in Ohio. […]
Back at World HQ after a week in the heartlands of narrow pitch LED. As noted, the report will be out in January ahead of ISE. I’ll get back on regular news, though I don’t the impression all that much happened last week. […]
