Video: Mind-blowing 3D Content At Giant Seoul Duty-Free

Hat Tip Gary Kayye for noting thus on LinkedIn … This is some rather amazing three dimensional content on a ceiling-suspended 3.5mm LED install at the Shinsegae duty free store in Gangnam, the famed Seoul shopping district. The content was put together by D’Strict, the Korean company that also did that similarly suspended ceiling over a bar at the SLS in Vegas. […]

Faux Fireworks On Digital Canvases Complement Real Kabooms On July 4th

I’d way rather see the real thing, like here, but putting digital fireworks on giant canvases like projection and LED is still an interesting way to celebrate a national holiday. The LA-based design studio StandardVision has produced and published a pair of videos from earlier this month that show July 4th efforts in Los Angeles and Chicago. […]

16:9: Ambitious New LA Skateboard Shop Uses Curved LED Wall To Drive Retail Experience

Readers will be shocked to read that I don’t know a lot about skateboards or skateboard retailing. Shameful, but true. I did not know, for example, that they can look like over-priced kitchenware stores, or a forgotten part of the Caesars Palace resort in Vegas. […]

Charlotte Office Tower Lobby Adds Huge, Curved 4K LED Wall

This is a newly installed and fired-up direct view LED video wall in the lobby of a new office tower in the financial services-dominant downtown of Charlotte, NC, spotted on Linkedin. The thing is a beast – large enough to deliver 4K visuals even though the pixel pitch is 4.7mm, which is almost 2X the pitch of displays that are called fine pitch (usually 2.5mm or tighter). […]

16:9: Debacle On 34th Street: One Very Big, Very Out Fine Pitch LED

This is the Footlocker store on 34th Street in New York, across from Macy’s. An industry colleague sent me a photo showing the huge LED wall, intersected by an escalator, was out. Not good, but I figured, cut the guys a break – it could be a maintenance issue and maybe the screen was back on an hour after the photo was shot. […]

16:9 from InfoComm Day 2: No Great Leaps Forward, But Many Subtle Advances

Tons of great conversations and product demos on Thursday at InfoComm 2019. While it is very, very accurate to say there was/is not a whole pile that is strikingly new at this trade show, as you might expect,  when you dig in, there’s lots going on and lots of subtle but meaningful improvements or innovations. […]

16:9: Giant Curved LED Wall Fills Toronto BMO Branch

I forgot when I had a 12-hour (planned) layover in Toronto a few weeks ago that I took a little time to check out some digital signage installs I had heard about, but not seen. Looking for a photo reminded me. This is a branch of the Bank of Montreal, street-level at the Manulife Centre in midtown Toronto. […]

Medical Trade Show Booth Comes To Life Using Custom Creative On LED Wall

In the past year or so I have really started to notice a lot of big printed graphics make way for LED in trade show booths, and not just for display industry shows. This is the GlaxoSmithKline booth at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, held recently in Chicago. The digital work was done by Fusion CI Studios (the small shop best known for its CGI waterfalls). […]

Another Robotic LED Wall Surfaces, But Indoors

Another robotic LED wall has surfaced, though this one is much smaller and indoors. It is what I assume is a demo from the Chinese LED display manufacturer PJ Link. You may recall Coca-Cola bankrolled a very ambitious robotics-driven LED in Times Square that, as predicted by people who knew better, ran into reliability issues when faced with the weather and everything else New York throws at it. […]
