LaGuardia Turns The Tap On For Giant Projected Water Curtain Show In Reno’d Terminal B September 27, 2021 by Super User I’m not sure I’d reference this water fountain projection thingie at the renovated (thank God!) NY LaGuardia Airport as a digital signage job, but it kinda sorta is, I suppose. The Water Feature in the hugely improved (by the looks of it) Terminal B is like a giant, computer-controlled rainfall shower in the terminal that …
Heathrow Express Mashes Up Projection, Sensors To Urge Travellers To Take Express Train In From Heathrow September 3, 2021 by Super User I thought Microsoft killed off the Kinect sensor program years ago, but it evidently exists in a much more sophisticated, commercial-grade form aimed at interactive and mixed reality applications. This version is called Azure Kinect and it is being used, as one example, for an interesting “activation” at London’s Heathrow Airport. If you have ever …

NJ Realty Corp. Uses Projection Mapping To Create Experience In HQ Lobby July 19, 2021 by Super User There’s been lots of activity in pro AV circles, using large format LED to deliver an experience for tenants and visitors in commercial building lobbies. But in the right conditions, projection is an effective (and probably cost effective) alternative. This is the lobby of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation in Jersey City, NJ, as tricked out by …
Sharp/NEC Start Formally Marketing Smart Window Film For Privacy, Digital Signage June 2, 2021 by Super User The conjoined Sharp/NEC display company has started formally marketing the projection on switchable glass solution that the old NEC started showing at trade shows about three years ago.

Chicago Museum Celebrates Famed Art Deco Train With 170 Foot Projection Wall June 2, 2021 by Super User This is an interesting take on the idea of using video walls to create the sense of motion outside a museum object – in this case a train. Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry (MSI) celebrates the famed Zephyr rail line in the U.S. – a super-streamlined engine and cars clad in stainless steel – …

It is called the Volcano Show, which from poking around online seems to be some sort of regularly scheduled multi-sensory event in the bar (walked by that place a billion times, but never been in). This new …
