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? […]
Last week, New Yorkers might have looked up one night and seen a huge illuminated billboard floating along the west skyline, over the Hudson River. […]
This is brilliant – projection mapping, using a custom animation on a guest table at a Belgian restaurant. A tiny chef pops out of a virtual hole in the table, and proceeds to fire up a grill and start cooking. The whole thing is projection mapped and is a great representation of how that tech is not just for the sides of buildings and huge spaces. […]
It seems like all the display guys are branching out lately. First it was software and now display types. You may think of Atlanta-based NanoLumens as a company squarely in the business of making lightweight, skinny and modular LED displays, but now they’ve announced a clear transparent surface you’d liken to 3M’s Vikuiti film surfaces.

One of the emerging trends in large format digital displays and walls will, I think, be generative, visualized content based on data and then dynamically rendered. It will happen because the investment goes in at the front-end but the content keeps refreshing itself, as opposed to needing to be re-thought and re-made regularly. […]
Pico projectors have been around for a few years now, offering up a way to do projections onto surfaces using something much smaller and lighter than a conventional conference room projector. A Pico projector costs $200 and up and is not much bigger than a smartphone. […]
It looks like virtual mannequins have escaped from airport queues and hospital waiting rooms and found new work in hotels – or at least one opening this summer in Japan. A concept hotel at a theme park (surprise!) will feature robots the owners say will eventually do 90% of the work around the place. […]
I saw a few tweets last night after the Katy Perry lip sync medley halftime at the Super Bowl gushing about how cool the digital signage was at the big game. That's some serious #digitalsignage at the #SuperBowI this year. @NEC @DSExpo @sixteennine @katyperry pic.twitter.com/6A1RZiJsuW — Route 802 (@Route802) February 2, 2015 Well … yes, the projection mapping was kinda sorta cool.
