When I had a long podcast chat with Rick Cope at InfoComm back in June, the founder and CEO of Nanolumens made it very clear he was about to go to legal war with a number of (mostly or all) Chinese manufacturers who were marketing LED display products that seem to borrow on Nano’s flexible designs. […]
This week’s podcast is a little tough, because I’m going to ask listeners to get their brains around something they really need to see. And something that’s just emerging from R&D, so you can’t see it. But, it’s more than worth listening to Daniel Siden talk about Lightvert, a UK-based start-up that has technology that creates huge digital billboards that only exist in your vision. […]
A new central building on the Silicon Valley campus of ecommerce giant eBay, called Main Street, serves as the main gateway and front door for the company. It’s a technology-rich building intended to drive brand identity, capture the rapid pulse of the company and more practically provide much-needed flexible, well-equipped spaces for hosted meetings, conferences, and events. […]
Mr. Photoshop in action. I don’t really think these new displays are square. […]
Via Retail Design Blog Here’s some shots, but not much digital signage detail, about a North Face flagship store that opened earlier this year in the very high rent district of Palo Alto, California, at the shopping center in the shadows of Stanford University. The images come from Retail Design Blog, and it details a store design put together by a firm called Green Room. […]
The interactive touchscreen thing at sports venues is not new, but there’s a few things Philly-based MVP Interactive did with Cox Communications and the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder that are kinda cool: Fans make their personal, albeit virtual bobbleheads; A sensor called the vert jump mat measured how high fans can jump (vertical leap is kind of important for b-ball); The fan images got tied in with a Lamar digital billboard in the city. […]
Here’s a slightly different take on shopping mall wayfinding: smaller screens set at angles, instead of the jumbo vertical screens you mostly see in malls these days. This is at the Mall of America in Minneapolis – which I believe remains the largest shopping mall in the U.S. – and there are six of these, in total, which tells me this is a test. […]
You can go up to the 69th and 70th floors of the US Bank Tower in LA to get a 360-degree view of that city, looking west to the beaches and ocean and the mountains beyond the city’s basin. To get up there, you first stop at the 54th floor, and that’s where a new set of experiential projections have been set up to greet visitors. […]
Amazon is developing a premium Echo-like speaker with a 7-inch screen, reports Bloomberg, that could function, among other things, as something of a home-based digital sign. […]
Pretty much all the information is in Polish, and translate tools can only do so much, but what’s evident in any language is that this is a very impressive digital project at a high-end shopping mall in west-central Poland. The mall is called Posnania and is in the city of Poznan. […]
Digital menu boards are now very common in the quick service restaurant sector, but far less so at the many other kinds of order counters out there – like at butcher shops. […]
Software and display companies get a lot of attention in the digital signage industry, but projects don’t happen without the gear that holds screens in place and keeps them protected. I travelled up to St. […]
A Taiwan-based electronics firm has started shipping a $189 smart mirror aimed at the consumer market that looks like the sort of thing some mid-tier retailers would like to have at their cosmetic counters. […]
Hat tip to Gary Kayye for writing about this recently … What if a service at a funeral home wasn’t a dark, deeply uncomfortable experience most people just wanted to get through? What if it was more of a celebration – that used technology to tell the story of a loved one’s life? […]
