This isn’t new, but it is to me – a long, wide LED running visualized data as art on a permanent installation at the convention center in Sydney, Australia. The Datascape wall is 96 meters wide, or roughly the length of a football pitch. It is on a wall on what is known as Moriarty Walk, down by the harbour. […]
If you are a football (soccer) fan you will know the European men’s final was played yesterday at London’s Wembley Stadium – a game that unfortunately went to penalty kicks after 30 minutes of extra time. Not a fan of PKs deciding huge games, but that’s a debate that’s raged in football for decades now. It was England vs Italy, and if you are not a follower, Italy won. […]
Hopefully, posts about riots and looting are not going to be a regular feature here, but here is a second story today of rioting and unrest – this one from South Africa. […]
It has been a few years since LED display manufacturer Daktronics waded into the smaller-format digital signage display sector with its acquisition of the Canadian software firm Adflow Networks, and now the content management software for giant LEDs and much smaller LCDs has been merged to a single product. […]
The sheer number of hair and nail salons out there – what strip mall have you seen that doesn’t have one? – has always made the sector attractive as a vertical for digital signage technology. It helps that these environments have lotsa wait time, high loyalty and all kinds of high-margin products and services to upsell. […]
It’s rare to see a new-build store kitted out with digital displays BEFORE it gets merchandised and opened up, so this is an interesting little video showing fine pitch LED used all over a duty-free shop at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport. The duty-free is working with the Shenzhen-based but Japanese market-focused LED firm Shisai Optoelectronics. […]
Samsung has started marketing its new all-in-one kiosk beyond the South Korean market, timing the launch with the announcement of a substantial ecosystem of fintech and Point Of Sale partners. […]
Microsoft is making several improvements to the Teams Rooms experience designed to help end customers collaborate together, regardless of whether employees are in the office or working remotely. […]
We’ve seen out of home media companies attach advertising faces to all kinds of things out in public – like transit shelters, pylons and sidewalk directories – but now a UK start-up has a solution on streets that pairs an ad face with an sidewalk air scrubber. […]
There’s always another one, so I am not validating the Linkedin speculation that this is the world’s biggest Blue Screen Of Death, but it would have to be up there in scale. This is on a motorway in Sydney, Australia, and is an LED ad screen for a media company in that country. The Linkedin comments suggest it was BSOD’d for a couple of days. […]
Rise Vision and Sharp NEC Display Solutions have done a partnership that sees K-12 schools and higher education institutions getting a free year of using Rise Vision’s CMS platform with NEC Display MediaPlayer solution they purchase. As part of this partnership, Rise Vision has integrated their solution with the NEC MediaPlayer via the pre-installed Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 or Compute Module 4. […]
Display manufacturer Planar has announced the launch of Planar Studios, a new initiative that capitalizes on the growth of the virtual production and extended reality markets by combining the advanced technologies, industry partnerships and personnel to create on-screen content for film and TV. […]
There are exceptions, but in general terms the one retail vertical that pretty consistently goes to town with screens in stores is sports and recreation. You don’t typically see new builds and renos for clothing, grocery or mass merchandise putting screens all over the place, but that definitely still happens in sports retailing. […]
This is an interactive end-cap for big box stores that uses sensors and a touch screen, as well as print graphics, to get shoppers learning more about a line of pet food products. Ther end-caps are in some 200 supermarkets in the US midwest, in a program for Purina put together by the NYC-based interactive retail marketing firm Perch. […]
The 16:9 PODCAST IS SPONSORED BY SCREENFEED – DIGITAL SIGNAGE CONTENT Sony has been around digital signage for pretty much as long as the industry, but in all my time around this sector I haven’t had a particularly strong sense that the company was really serious about digital signage. Until the last year or so. […]
