New Aerva-Powered LED Board In Cincy Drives More Than Just Ads April 17, 2013 by Super User News that a software company has renewed a license to drive a big LED board is hardly a big moment, but how the board is being used makes a new press release from Boston-based Aerva interesting. It’s a lot more than a digital billboard. Fifth Third Bank and the Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC) …
New Seenspire Service Changes Up Content Feeds For Digital Signage April 16, 2013 by Super User A new company called Seenspire has changed up the approach to syndicated content feeds for digital signage networks in ways that are both similar and very different to another company that turned the whole RSS to screen thing on its ear 3-4 years ago.

Arsenal Media Adds US Presence With New Miami-Based Sales Director April 2, 2013 by Super User Arsenal Media has been doing business in the US for several years now, but the Montreal company has always been kn0wn, logically enough, as a Montreal/Canadian company.

Video: Leap Motion Shows Interactive Digital Possibilities At SXSW March 14, 2013 by Super User The Leap Motion controller has, I think, a huge amount of potential for interactive experiences in retail and other settings because of the granularity of gesture recognition (it can track the end of a waving chopstick) and the the absence of any need to “learn” gestures.

Video Blog: Samsung’s New SoC Smart Signage March 7, 2013 by Super User My Signagelive friends, Jason Cremins and Raffi Vartian, have been talking up a storm with anyone who will listen about the merits and possibilities of Samsung’s SoC product, which was announced at ISE and then announced formally for the N.
