The production and creative technology firm Grand Visual does some of the most interesting data-driven creative work you’ll find in the digital signage and digital out of home industry, so I was really happy to learn co-founder Dan Dawson was available at ISE to chat for a few minutes. […]
I’ve seen lots of transparent LCDs and no end of mostly crappy glasses-free 3D displays (though the 3D I saw at ISE was quite good), but I’ve not seen a take on three-dimension digital displays that mashed a transparent screen with a regular panel at the back. […]
Here’s a very nice install – featuring a “flying” video wall – that formally switched on last week at the new 10-screen Showcase Cinema de Lux in Southampton, England. The high-end movie house has laser projection and Dolby Atmos sound, and fully customizable electric recliners for seating. […]
The UK start-up Lightvert has started calling its unique tech a new type of augmented reality – probably to help people wrap their heads around it – as part of a just-launched equity crowdfunding campaign. […]
Via Campaign Live Here’s a good, relatively simple example of using live data to trigger relevant digital content on digital displays – in this case, cheeky messages to motorists stuck in traffic. […]
Spotted in Retail Gazette Here’s a look inside the first bricks and mortar shop for the online fast-fashion brand Missguided – a 20,000 sq. ft. shop in London’s Westfield Stratford shopping mall. […]
As seen in Display Daily A Cambridge, UK company, FlexEnable, has started demonstrating a new type of LCD display that doesn’t need to be married with glass, has a fraction of the weight, and is flexible. […]
The UK skin care brand Dermalogica has streamlined a range of digital displays in its retail locations – putting them on a network and adding new smart signage displays to drive promotions and build up its “Hero” products. […]
This week’s podcast is a little tough, because I’m going to ask listeners to get their brains around something they really need to see. And something that’s just emerging from R&D, so you can’t see it. But, it’s more than worth listening to Daniel Siden talk about Lightvert, a UK-based start-up that has technology that creates huge digital billboards that only exist in your vision. […]
A two-day pop-up store on London’s Oxford Street, run by Ebay, is using face pattern detection technology to help Christmas shoppers what they really should buy and put under the tree for loved ones. The idea is that the biometrics tech – touted among other things as capable of measuring emotional responses – will help settle on choices. […]
Via The Drum The British luxury retailer Harrods has installed a series of large, fine pitch LED video installations that greet shoppers at every level in the store’s iconic six-storey Grand Entrance hall. There are 12 LED screens in various configurations at points in the six floors of the department store’s escalator atrium. […]
Guest Post: Bryan Crotaz, Silver Curve I spent 20 recently minutes trying to get out of a car park. With a row of cars behind me queued up hooting. Not the most fun I’ve had lately, and it was the second day in a row it happened. […]
These seem really clever – old but iconic London phone boxes replaced by interactive stations that are bankrolled by digital OOH ad posters one one of two sides. The stations are being put in by Clear Channel UK, and manufactured by Amscreen, which has come a very long way from the days of putting up butt-ugly hybrid LED readout/LCD displays at the cash counters of UK convenience stores. […]
This week we’re talking content management software with Mark McDermott, the CEO and one of the co-founders of ScreenCloud, which offers a platform that looks, feels and works like much of what we do online with other subscription software tools. […]
In a hyper-competitive market like digital signage software, it’s important for most companies to choose a vertical market and go after it with focused products. Here’s an example of a company that isn’t really in the signage software business, but has nonetheless developed a software product that is laser-focused on a vertical industry – in this case, construction sites.
