Guest Post: Ryan Cahoy, Rise Vision This spring, Steven Spielberg will treat audiences to a story millions of readers already know: Ready Player One. The story takes place in a world where people rise and fall in an entirely VR world. It’s a concept that’s becoming more and more of a reality each year. […]
By far the busiest post on the Sixteen:Nine blog is one that lists the many options out there for free, kinda sorta free, or free to start with digital signage CMS software. One of the oldest – and among the few that are legitimately free – is Xibo, an open source digital signage solution that started as a student project in the UK many years ago. […]
As 2018 fast approaches, I see a number of key trends that will continue to dominate the Out of Home (OOH) industry. This year, OOH has seen solid growth as a part of the media plan, moving from 5-7% spend on average according to a new online activation study released by Nielsen. […]

The new webOS player has a one-time fee of 120 GBP, or about $160 USD. If you equated that to a SaaS fee over three years, that would be less than $5/month. […]
Fine pitch LED displays tend to be fitted to the necessary display area – like a lobby or feature wall area that is some sort of rectangle. They’re sold by modules and all those modules tile together to create the necessary shape. So it’s interesting to see a company marketing a solution that is based on a set of fixed sizes and standardized cabinets and mounting systems. […]
