It is VERY hard to find people working – full days, or at all – in the lovely, hot summer most of us are seeing in North America and Europe. A couple of podcast interviews have fallen through in recent days, so I decided to go into the archive and revive an episode from a couple of years back. […]
The French interactive software company IntuiLab has completed a rebranding exercise that concluded the firm’s name should directly align with the name of the core product. So IntuiLab will, going forward, be known as Intuiface. […]

The company’s Korbyt platform is now compatible with the display giant’s Linux-derived system on chip platform. Korbyt is RMG’s relatively new cloud-based CMS.

The mainstream printing/visual communications firm Federal Heath has been working its way into the digital signage sector in fits and starts for the last four or five years, but I met a guy at DSE who said his company was organized now for this business and getting some traction. A deal with a substantial US c-store chain would seem to verify that. […]
I am guilty of thinking about SignStix as yet another smallish digital signage CMS company scratching out a living with low-cost subscriptions and equally low-cost Android stick players. Based in Yorkshire, England, SignStix is a lot more than that. The company is indeed small, but doing some stuff that is a little bit mind-blowing. […]
All the Kia dealers in Russia have now rolled out a communications program, running off Scala, that reflects the Korean automaker’s new “Red Cube” brand identity.

Way back in the corner of DSE, in the innovation zone, a Bristol, UK company called Ultrahaptics was demonstrating tech that creates the sensation of touch in mid-air, in front of digital screens. […]
One of the most interesting companies I saw recently at InfoComm in Las Vegas was Lightform, a San Francisco start-up that is making the once dark art of projection mapping available to just about everyone. It wasn’t that long ago that projection mapping was all about very ambitious, very complicated, very expensive projects that only a handful of companies had the chops to pull off. […]

The company recently announced a deal to provide its digital workforce platform for operational communications at SIXTY Hotels, a small luxury lodgings chain. […]
Staying current on ALL of the different platforms and methods for planning, buying and placing digital OOH advertising is not easy, and I’ll admit I go a little cross-eyed trying to sort out the programmatic advertising offers of the various vendors who are directly or indirectly in the business. […]
Anyone who works with creative teams knows there is no such thing as a content fairy. Video spots don’t magically appear in inboxes overnight. Somebody had to design and render that video, and that work, frankly, takes a while. […]
Buffalo, NY-based digital signage software shop inLighten has started marketing an interesting new content creation tool for digital signage networks that’s aimed for users of any skill level and NOT tied to a particular content management system. So an end-user can produce material using StudioPro, but output it to use on whatever CMS software and player the end-user happens to use. […]
Guest Post: Balaji Kamineni, Zeetaminds An ideal Digital Out Of Home Network irrespective of the size should be managed without any manual human intervention. Once the signage network is set and running, there should be few or no reasons for an operator to go on site. As important as the entire hardware setup, equally important it is to choose a perfect signage software to manage the network. […]
Consolidation continues in the Scandinavian digital signage ecosystem, with news overnight that ZetaDisplay has acquired Norwegian solutions provider Webpro in a cash deal worth NOK 21 million, which is about $2.5 million USD. The deal also has performance-based supplemental payments. […]
