Samsung Shows Off Mirror LCDs, Transparent OLEDs At CES January 7, 2016 by Super User I’ve been following all the tech writing coming from CES, and from my narrow perspective, LG seems to be getting more attention than Samsung when it comes to displays. LG has the bendy OLED and the double-sided OLED, and LG has certainly put more of a focus on OLED than its Korean rival in the past …
Worth Watching: Select Videos Up From Four Winds’ Forward Conference January 6, 2016 by Super User Four Winds Interactive did a very nice, polished job last fall with Forward, a two-day conference in hometown Denver that went well beyond the typical software company user conference. It was education instead of indoctrination. I went to it, and learned a lot more than what was on the company’s product roadmap. The marketing department put …
2016 Preset Mixer Plans Firming Up January 5, 2016 by Super User Digital Signage Expo is now nine or 10 weeks out, and work has quietly been going on in planning the annual Preset Group Mixer – the unofficial kickoff party to DSE week in Las Vegas.

LG Showing Rollable and Two-Sided OLED Displays At CES January 4, 2016 by Super User CES is not in my trade show plans this or most years. The show this week is way too big and busy for my tastes – and the great majority of what’s going to be shown and hyped there isn’t all that relevant to signage. There will be display tech and micro PCs, but there will …
Projects: Digital Drives Happier Holiday Travel At Toronto’s Pearson Airport December 28, 2015 by Super User Traveling through airports during the Christmas holiday period can suck the joy out of just about anyone – between line-ups, delays, many more rookie travellers than normal and general mayhem. So the people at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport put together an on-premise Happier Holidays campaign that uses temporary digital displays, among several tools, to inject some fun. …
Projects: Montreal’s Arts District Adds More Projection-Mapped Buildings, Interactive Seesaws December 10, 2015 by Super User The arts quarter of the amazing city of Montreal has been a visual treat for a few years, owing to various temporary and permanent installations that use lighting and projection. But that gets amped up starting tonight, with a program that runs through the end of January. Called Impulse, the winter installation sees several buildings transformed …
Impressions From SEGD Xlab November 12, 2015 by Super User A few people have asked me directly or by email what I thought of Xlab this year, which made me realize I didn’t really write about the event that ran a week ago in New York. It was the fifth iteration of an event developed by the Society for Experiential Graphic Design, or the less involved …

They will be at the Navy Pier Nov. 15-16, 2016, which means if you are going, you are …
Heading To Dubai November 9, 2015 by Super User I’m speaking at a Customer Engagement Technology Conference in a couple of weeks in Dubai. It’s one of those places I’ve wanted to see, and also a place that I gather has a lot shaking in the digital signage sector. My talk is Nov. 25th at the event, which I don’t think has any ties to …
Ad:Tech Lightning Tour November 9, 2015 by Super User I had about three hours last week to zip up and down the aisles of Ad:Tech New York, and three hours was plenty if you are not in the online ad business. It’s all about ad networks and programmatic advertising and things like predictive marketing, of which I know absolutely zip. I go because there is …
