The World's Largest Photo Booth.

During the holiday season, Microsoft and Synect launched the largest photo booth in the world. The digital experience captivated store visitors, who could take their pictures at a custom photo station and see the pictures displayed on the stores’ 150-foot long video wall. The interactive installation ran at the Microsoft Stores in Bellevue Square Mall and University Village from December 1 to January 5, 2015.

Photo Booth was built by Microsoft and Synect to integrate with the store’s digital signage network. Driven by YCD Multimedia’s digital signage system, the network powers over 70 store video walls, which can have a resolution up to 57,600 x 1080.

The installation included a Kinect for Windows V2 sensor, a Surface Pro 3, and a Lenovo All in One at a photo station designed and fabricated by Gensler. Plugins and custom development by Synect enabled interactivity with the video wall and allowed the experience to span across multiple devices.

[CES2015] How far LCD TV will evolve ?

Bron: http://olednet.com

LCD TV made another great innovation. It is the LED BLU using Quantum dot(QD) accomplishing an ultimate level of LCD TV picture quality that no one has imagined yet.

At CES2015, the TV-set companies including LG Electronics, Sony, Sharp, TCL, Haier, etc. revealed the QD-BLU LCD TV. Their color reproducibility had reached up to NTSV 110% due to QD-LED and the brightness and contrast range allowed a brilliant picture quality which was never available in the LCD panel as a result of HDR (high dynamic range) technology.

There were only a few exhibitions presenting the night view of clear contrast range but at this CES 2015, Samsung Electronics demonstrated how far the LCD TV has improved by comparing the contrast ranges of the SUHD TV (up) and existing LCD TV.

In addition, the exterior design has changed completely different from the existing LCD TV in the curved and thin film shape under 10mm. Even the viewing angle of wide color LCD attained a level of spontaneous emission 

- How far LCD TV will evolve?

- The answer was in this CES 2015.

- It is the OLED TV.

LG Display is the only company in the world capable of producing OLED panel and at this moment, 
it is LG Electronics which has a capacity to mass-produce OLED TV.

The superiority of OLED panel’s color reproducibility, contrast range, response time, viewing angle, thickness, etc. over LCD was already attested in the smart phone Galaxy series. Therefore, the survival means for those TV manufactures which cannot produce OLED TV is to make LCD TV most similar to OLED TV as much as possible until they can supply a large quantity of OLED panel.   

At this CES2015, LG Electrons mobilized every technology available for LCD TV to go after OLED TV. The LCD TV came close to OLED TV with a curved design despite the color reproducibility, viewing angle, thickness and getting thicker. In particular, the contrast range has enhanced to such a degree that it is indistinguishable with OLED TV if no explanation is provided. But after all, LCD is LCD and OLED is OLED. It might imitate but cannot be the same.

The opportunity for LCD TV to transform once again by the emergence of OLED TV will go down in history of TV as an example of proper competition

GE Tour to ocean floor uses Oculus Rift.

GE is using Oculus Rift to take visitors to its research centre in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil down to the seabed. The American corporation has developed a 3D virtual tour of a subsea robotic factory that it believes will one day replace manned floating platforms in the oil and gas industry. The company says that energy companies are already planning to place entire industrial oil and gas processing plants on the seabed. Researchers at GE’s Rio centre are already exploring these opportunities.

Using Oculus Rift, the tour begins in a pilot’s seat of a Nautilus 1 submersible vessel, which travels more than 1.5km beneath the ocean’s surface.

Katrina Craigwell, head of global digital programming as GE, said: “The Oculus Rift experience provided an opportunity for us to take viewers into otherworldly territory that we wouldn’t normally be able to visit.

“Traveling a mile down to the bottom of the ocean off the coast of Brazil, the experience highlights the extreme environment that subsea technology must withstand, and a vision for how a subsea factory will work in the future.”

A massive yawn.

It's a simple but brilliant idea - show the face of a man yawning and you might just yawn yourself. This is the idea behind Sebastian Errazuriz's new installation in Times Square, A Pause in the City That Never Sleeps. Each night in January, from 11:57pm to midnight, Times Square's electronic billboards will show a continuous yawn on a loop. On Saturday, January 17th, you can join the artist at 11:45pm on Duffy Square for a special gathering where all are encouraged to join in on a massive yawn.

Advertising screens fill with an omnipresent head looking dawn from the skies to the people passing beneath. Since yawn are contagious, the masses of people looking up at the screens will inadvertently feel like they will have to stop and yawn. As the yawning masses move through the city, they'll now unconsciously carry their contagious message with them, spreading this moment of pause throughout the city.

Tim Tompkins, President of the Times Square Alliance, said, “The beauty of Sebastian Errazuriz’s piece is its attempt to induce a contagious moment of calm and pause at the otherwise bustling crossroads of Times Square. That juxtaposition is sure to be powerful for all who have the chance to see it. We will see how the largest digital display of yawns in history will affect the city that never sleeps."

Avegant's headphone-like wearable display.

Avegant's Glyph headset has been long in the making, but it finally looks to be ready for action... well, almost. The unique mash-up of headphone and wearable display is now poised to ship in fall 2015 for $599, or $499 if you pre-order before January 15th. That's both a long time to wait and more expensive than you might have expected from the Kickstarter campaign, but that patience may just pay off. Avegant has unveiled the finished design for the Glyph (shown here), and it's much sleeker than earlier concepts and prototypes would suggest -- you'd be hard-pressed to tell that there are eyepieces tucked into the headband. We'll give the finished design a try as soon as we can, so watch this space if you're looking for a video headset that could liven up your commute.

The Glyph is a premium mobile media headset. Watch video or listen to audio on the move. Preorder now at avegant.com

Message to Porsche Drivers.

World’s First Car Recognition DOOH Billboard Campaign Spotlights Porsche Drivers

AUSTRALIA — An innovative DOOH billboard campaign aimed at Porsche drivers senses when a Porsche is within range and automatically changes the screen’s message. The billboard, located at Melbourne Airport, uses a camera positioned 300 meters (328 yards) from the billboard to analyze approaching traffic including the vehicle’s make and model in real-time. When it identifies the car as a Porsche it triggers the message “It’s so easy to pick you out of a crowd”.

“The world first concept, developed specifically for Porsche by oOh! media’s creative services team, demonstrates the multiple new ways DOOH billboard campaign can be used to create a unique customer experience for brands,” said John Purcell, Commercial Director, Operations and Technology at oOh!. The billboard will reach up to 200,000 travelers over one week as they make their way to one of Australia’s busiest airports. It’s another great example of oOh!’s capabilities in reaching audiences. oOh!’s broader digital strategy is not just about upgrading our current sites into digital billboards, it’s about creating solutions to help clients find creative ways to engage with their customers.”

Over the last year oOh!media has introduced several innovations as part of the company’s overall digital strategy that include the launch of integrated online platforms, QView and Hijacked. In addition, the company has introduced sensor-based dayparting capabilities that enable contextually-based advertising using outdoor temperature or time of day to triggers advertisements.

Last winter, oOh!media launched a sensor-based awareness campaign for Dimetapp, an over-the-counter cold and flu medicine, that triggered across oOh! media’s DOOH advertising network when the temperature drops below the local winter average. oOh! media also developed a temperature controlled advertising campaign on behalf of Unilever to promote Magnum and Lipton Iced Tea products during the summer.

Toni Andreevski, Director of Marketing, Porsche Cars Australia, said: “It’s appropriate that Porsche is part of this world first highlighting the award winning excellence of the Porsche brand. The power and flexibility of digital technology today is a real winner for high value brands to reach just the right audience.”

Porsche’s creative agency is The Ross Partnership, media placement was done by PHD. Porsche’s “It’s so easy to pick you out of a crowd” DOOH billboard campaign will be live for five days starting Saturday, 10 January.
