The conjoined Sharp/NEC display company has started formally marketing the projection on switchable glass solution that the old NEC started showing at trade shows about three years ago.

This is inside the Margaritaville on the Las Vegas Strip, which has a new projection-mapped and display show. It is called the Volcano Show, which from poking around online seems to be some sort of regularly scheduled multi-sensory event in the bar (walked by that place a billion times, but never been in). […]

16:9: Another Big Robotic Video Wall Surfaces, But This One’s Safe Inside, And Done With Projection

Here’s another example of one of those robotic, kinetic, three-dimensional walls that has cubes that push out and slide back in based on programmed sequences. It is is the same motion technology as what was used for that ill-fated Coca-Cola spectacular LED display in Times Square, but the biggest difference with this one is that it is inside. […]

16:9: Brazilian Mega-Development Uses Mosaic LCD Video Wall To Drive Leasing Sales

Mosaic video walls used to be something that I’d see used quite often in digital signage projects, but the rise of DV LED seems to have curbed their use. Here’s a great example of one that went up at a sales center for a big real estate project in Brazil.

16:9: Denys Lavigne Surfaces; Opening An Immersive Experience Venue In Montreal Tomorrow

Denys Lavigne built up one of the most respected and awarded creative shops in digital signage, but Arsenal Media unfortunately petered out as a company in the wake of its 2014 acquisition by Christie.

16:9: DOOH Start-ups Partner On Ad Network Creating Projected Billboards In Windows

From the everything old is new again file … Many, many years ago there were a few media companies leasing distressed real estate in malls and on busy streetscapes to create what you might call pop-up, projection-driven billboards using window glass.

I have a good friend set to open up one just like that in a big city.

Fashion Brand Uses Guerrilla Projections To Drive Brand During NY Fashion Week
