Phone-charging kiosk and interactive digital signage at NRF 2012

NEC Display Solutions rolled out its new phone-charging and interactive digital signage kiosk at this year's National Retail Federation Big Show in New York City.

The new kiosk, which was the result of an NEC partnership with Monster Media, is a "fully interactive system," according to Rich ventura, NEC's director of sales-vertical solutions.

"The sky's the limit," for deployments anywhere there is a perceived wait time, from grocery stores to coffee shops, Ventura said.
