LAS VEGAS – I didn’t think it was possible, but Fremont Street is even weirder than the last time I spent a night around there. The ride history feature on Lyft’s app is a very effective tool for dealing with the “What time did you get in?” question. […]
LAS VEGAS – It’s very hot. The Las Vegas Convention Center has renovated the food services area in the north and central hall areas so it looks more polished and the the options don’t all lead to desperation eating. But there’s still nowhere enough seating. […]
North American pros will get a first look this week at Infocomm at the transparent color LED film that LG first showed a few months ago at ISE in Amsterdam. The film is touted as a way to turn any window or glass surface into a customizable digital canvas. If you were at Infocomm a year ago in Orlando, and wandered into LG Land, you would have seen gray-scale transparent LED films. […]
I am working out arrangements with a live streaming company that wants to show its capabilities in real-time at InfoComm next week. They offered, and I grabbed the chance to do a live walk-through of whatever seems like the best area to look around at the show – probably where the display companies are located. […]
The display company Prysm was in the digital signage display market 8-10 years ago with a laser phosphor display cube that had a lot of similarities to Christie’s MicroTiles. But in the last few years, the company has been more focused on displays used for corporate environments, particularly for collaboration. […]
I am starting to wrap my head around InfoComm, which is coming up in early June in Las Vegas. It’s not a show I attend to see new stuff. I go to spend the poking around time that I never get during Digital Signage Expo. […]
I was in the Washington, DC area last week for what turned out to be the rebranding of Infocomm as AVIXA – a loose acronym for the Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association. The trade association had invited me, and a pile of other trade journalists, for a press conference and follow-ups about … something. […]
AVIXA CEO David Labuskes announcing re-brand today Infocomm has rebranded itself as AVIXA – the Audiovisual and Integrated Experience Association. The global rebranding effort – roughly four years in the works – was announced today to Infocomm volunteers and partners, as well as to trade press, in the Washington, DC-area, where the organization is based. […]
I find, more and more, that some of the more successful companies in this business are a bit like stealth submarines. They run silent and deep, and you don’t hear much about them or see them around. That would apply pretty nicely to D3, a New York company that is in the LED display business. […]
I’ve posted photos in earlier reports from last week at InfoComm, but here are some more that didn’t find their way into earlier coverage, with comments added: Transparent LED – those mesh screens you can see through – are getting quite good. The content running on this one was vivid. […]
Here’s my chat with Adrian from DailyDOOH, at the NEC stand last week in Orlando. […]
My aching feet and back have returned from Orlando, and I am starting to thaw out from the high-performing air conditioning units at the convention center. You know things are weird when you’re doing conference sessions in hot, muggy Orlando and women are putting on sweaters. […]
My time on the floor was pretty finite on Day 2, but here some quick impressions … Panasonic now has a projection mapping software tool aimed at the sports market, going after Christie and its Mystique software, which makes projection mapping possible on the competition surfaces of, for example, an NBA or NHL arena. […]
It was readily apparent to just about anyone that the big InfoComm pro AV trade show down in Orlando this week would include a lot of exhibit hall real estate filled up by LED display manufacturers. But I’ve never seen as many of them as I saw here – not even at the version of InfoComm staged right in China. […]
LG is formally launching a transparent LED film that’s meant to stick on things like windows and dividers and offer low-rez graphics. The tech is being launched for the North American market this week at InfoComm in Orlando, but was shown several months ago at ISE in Amsterdam. […]
