Acer has announced plans to ship a giant 1080P tablet- called a Chromebase – by this summer, with touch and running Chrome OS. The unit is kinda sort a tablet and also kinda sorta an all-in-one display – in a 21.5-inch form factor. From the context of digital signage, this has endcap or podium display all over it. […]
With many South Asians moving to Dubai for work, Coca-Cola have created special Wish Booths that are activated by Coca-Cola bottle caps and have installed them around the city, inviting UAE (United Arab Emirates) residents to make a wish for their families back home.

US shopping mall operator Westfield put a back to back bank of big-ass LCD touch displays in one of its big malls, Garden State Plaza in Paramus, New Jersey, about a year ago.

I missed this in the two days I spent wandering the aisles of NRF, which is a shame because I’m intrigued by how it works. It’s billed as the world’s first digital mirror, which is a bit of a reach given eBay and The Big Space both have digital mirror things (admitted doing different stuff) at the show. […]
This digital signage Klip was provided to us by Hung, a regular and avid traveler. The image is of a pretty cool interactive digital signage stand in Dubai. The solution provides free usage of Google Maps in case you need to search for a specific location or just need directions to go somewhere. […]
The last time I was at the big National Retail Federation trade show in New York, digital signage was something you saw here and there – in small solo booths or as one of the interesting services wedged into the mega booths of major tech companies.
