Total Recall Goes Interactive On Toronto Street July 20, 2012 by Dave Haynes Monster Media is starting to get a little traction in Canada doing the sort of street-level interactive windows that InWindow Outdoor has been executing in the U.S. for the last few years. The latest is a combination big print and interactive digital project in empty retail window space along Toronto’s uber trendy Queen Street West …
The Strangest Digital Signage Product I’ve Seen In Ages July 19, 2012 by Dave Haynes After a few minutes of just kinda sitting in front of my monitor, blinking, I’m ready to report on the Air-O-Matic Advertiser, which will pump up your business with a digital signage screen planted on top of a vending machine for deflated balls. Yup. The Air-O-Matic Advertiser™ is an interactive vending machine that contains deflated …
Old Airport Dot Boards Go On Steroids, Get Interactive July 19, 2012 by Dave Haynes [youtube id=”x3jkoIyJgoc” width=”610″ height=”343″] There’s not a lot of new in this sector, so it’s fascinating to at least learn of a project that takes old technology, tweaks the hell out of it, and makes it new and very interesting. A Brooklyn-based interactive team called Breakfast has used the electromagnetic fot ticker boards that you …
Sightings: Cool Display Wall at New Revel Casino, Wayfinding at McCarran July 10, 2012 by Dave Haynes Four Winds Interactive in Denver does a nice job of a regular email push of a photo gallery of new and existing installations. In most cases a digital sign is a digital sign, but there were some new ones that caught my eye because of design or location. The first is I don’t quite know …
Sightings: Nike’s Camp Victory At 2012 Track Trials July 10, 2012 by Dave Haynes [vimeo id=”45077052 ” width=”610″ height=”343″] Nike did something akin to a pop-up store – but more like an experience center – during the recent US Olympics team tracki and field trials in a soggy Eugene, OR.

Denver Museum Evokes Rockies In Giant Video Wall July 9, 2012 by Dave Haynes I did a book recently about MicroTiles projects around the world, and this is easily among my favorites because of the way the design team really played with shape. It has been up for several weeks now but I was waiting for a release and better snappies before writing anything. The new History Colorado Center …
Sightings: Rockin’ Tacos Menu Boards June 27, 2012 by Dave Haynes UCView software is driving new menu boards at some place called Rockin’ Tacos in Lost Wages. The creative team can probably save the stamps when it comes to awards, BUT what I like about this can be summed up in one sentence: You could actually read the selections from a distance. I have seen three …
Sightings: Counter Display Scans Pre-made Meals To Show Ingredients, Calories June 26, 2012 by Dave Haynes I’ve not seen this before, and think it’s kinda clever in a limited use way. Signio, A Danish digital signage integrator, is working with a food services company, Foodmarket, at Copenhagen’s airport. They have done menu boards, but the interesting bit for me is counter-mounted interactive screens that let people select a sandwich or salad …
Behold, The Meta Twist Tower June 25, 2012 by Dave Haynes [youtube id=”cBWUy_LvuTU” width=”600″ height=”350″] So, I’d sum this project up this way: Zum 20-jährigen Geburtstag enthüllt der Flughafen mit Chef Dr. Kerkloh den Meta Twist Tower, eine 41qm große, auseinaderklappbare LED Leinwand, die für News, Werbung und Unterhaltung zum Einsatz kommen soll. Or, better, I’ll paraphrase what OOH-TV kindly puts in English about this new …
Talking Flat Lady Now Yammering Away At Logan June 22, 2012 by Dave Haynes Now I know Logan Airport has some people who understand digital signage and what you can do with it (met one), but I also know based on looking over an RFP for Boston’s airport a couple of years ago that any decisions go through a nightmarish run of committees and processes. We took a look …
