The NEC X754HB high brightness display.

NEC Display Solutions Europe has expanded its portfolio of high brightness displays with the launch of a 75-inch display designed for areas with high levels of ambient light, and where the harsh environment of sunlight would affect the performance of normal displays.

Displays that can be used in high brightness environments add much-needed flexibility and high-quality visual experiences to retail, quick serve restaurants, airports or digital out of home display situations.

The X754HB large format display offers a reliable and consistent solution for environments where lighting conditions are changeable but the information on the display always needs to be visible; whether a menu or information board, where detail is important, or for images that add to the retail experience, where colour is key. The 75-inch display intelligently adapts to its surroundings, using an integrated ambient light sensor. During the day, the display provides a bright, clear image regardless of the lighting conditions; at night, it dims, reducing power consumption and creating cost-efficiencies for the organisation whilst maintaining perfect readability. With a display size of more than 190 centimetres, the X754HB matches the industry demand for life-size signage applications that effectively operate in these demanding environments.

The NEC X754HB high brightness display will be on show at the NEC Display Solutions booth 4-R24 at #ISE2016 in Amsterdam February 9-12, 2016

Hamburg - 700 square meter digital surface.

Inside, Klubhaus St. Pauli is Hamburg’s new home of live music, entertainment and urban working. Outside it features Europe’s largest interactive media façade. The approximately 700 square meter digital surface is ideal for the moving image campaigns, editorial content and visuals of the artistic and cultural organisations in the newly opened Klubhaus St. Pauli and the Bremen design artist Urbanscreen.



The media façade itself is transparent. When club guests and office staff look out of the building it is like peering through blinds. The lift in the building, which goes up to the panorama restaurant on the sixth floor, is lined with eleven laminated glass plates containing embedded LEDs.

ONLYGLASS GmbH produced and installed this high-resolution part of the media façade.



The wall is marketed by Posterscope which attracted Mondelēz International (Milka) and Sonos as advertising partners for the launch in September 2015. Simon Kloos, Managing Director of Posterscope Deutschland explains: "By combining interaction and a mix of editorial, artistic and commercial content we’ve turned the advertising space on the media façade into an event in its own right. Offline events on Spielbudenplatz in front and in Klubhaus St. Pauli behind also guarantee very high levels of attention."

Right at midnight on New Year’s Eve, photographer Jeff Cremer sent his camera drone up into the skies above Lima, Peru to capture the sights and sounds of residents shooting off fireworks. A heck of a lot of fireworks it turns out, shot from streets and rooftops across the entire city. Cremer wanted to get a bit closer to the action but smartly kept his drone at about 200m so it wouldn’t be knocked out of the sky by a random firework. Set to Perpetuum Mobile by Penguin Cafe Orchestra.

‘connected glass’ displays in Canada

Marketing agency W.illi.am/Valtech Group recently launched two ‘connected glass’ concepts with interactive store display windows at Guildford Town Centre in Surrey, B.C., and the Montreal Eaton Centre, to help stimulate holiday shopping traffic. Installed inside the two Ivanhoé Cambridge shopping malls, the 1.4-m (55-in.) displays used Google’s Android technology to support visual, interactive gift selection functions. Set up as a one-month pilot project and integrated with e-commerce, the test windows may lead to further digital signage deployments in 2016, pending evaluation of the numbers of online visits, pop-up store sales, window interactions and user-generated content. “This multiplatform project, including the connected store display windows, is the first of its kind in Canada,” says Ludovic Maire, retail digital strategist for W.illi.am/Valtech Group. “It redefines the shopping experience by combining the physical space of shopping centres with the intelligent use of digital platforms.”

100 Dancing Drones Set World Record.

Watch Intel's Drone 100, a magical and elaborate airborne music and light experience created by a fleet of 100 unmanned aerial vehicles that redefines art, enabled by Intel-powered PCs and digital artists.

The team quickly created an outdoor flying drone light show syncopated to a live orchestra.

When all 100 light-equipped drones danced and painted 3D shapes and messages in sky above Hamburg in early November, a new record was born.Dubbed Drone 100, the spectacle set a Guinness World Record for most UAVs airborne simultaneously.

When video of Drone 100 was first shown during Krzanich’s CES 2016 keynote two months later, he said it redefined the fireworks experience without the inherent risks of traditional pyrotechnics.

Hoertner and his team of 15 people called the drones, “spaxels,” a hybrid of “space pixels.” He said he wanted to show how drones, known to many as weapons, can be used to create beauty and socially meaningful experiences.

The four pilots were led by Martin Morth, and each pilot controlled 25 drones as they lifted off from a soccer field in Hamburg.

But before the drones could launch from the field, engineers created software that allowed the drones to follow flight paths, turn on and off lights and move succinctly with one another to dramatic orchestra music.

This also breaks Guinness world record for having most drones up in the air at the same time and multiple drones controlled by one pilot.

Drone 100 is telecasted at CES 2016

Kinetic will turn all outdoor billboards into trigger points for smartphones.

Brands will be able to use all of Kinetic Worldwide’s billboards globally to push messages to peoples’ smartphones.

The outdoor specialist’s global chief executive Mauricio Sabogal told the launch would transform all its “out of home media into interactive media”.

While billboards have been able to talk to smartphones for some time, it’s the scale that’s the selling point for Kinetic now as it increasingly sees itself asked to pitch for fully integrated accounts given the ubiquity of mobile out and inside homes.

The way it works is each screen is fitted with a hidden code, which is generatec and served dynamically using outdoor media firm’s Endeavour’s platform. What the platform does is allow for both traditional and digital creative to be tagged with one of the codes to allow passerbys to do everything from redeem loyalty points to buy goods. The codes can also be updated throughout a campaign in order to offer different call to actions or serve alternative content.

For brands, this means they can update their own apps with the code reader so that people don’t have to download another app in order to interact with the screens.

Sabogal’s dream is that eventually all billboards work with phones in this way not just those owned by Kinetic. “We want to syndicate this as a standard,” he continued. “This is my invitation to my competitors to use the same method so that the consumer knows that every time they pass a billboard there is something for them.”

Source; www.inavateonthenet.net

LG’s 18-in flexible display will be on show at this week’s CES in Las Vegas. The Korean manufacturer will showcase the concept 30R display that it says can be rolled up like a newspaper alongside a 55-in paper-thin OLED TV and a pair of 65-in “extreme-curve” concave and convex OLED displays. The company was able to achieve the extremely thin unit by housing its electronics separately. OLED products specifically for the commercial sector will also be exhibited including a 55-in double-sided display that shows different video images on each side and a 139-in Vertical Tiling OLED (VTO) display that comprises eight double-sided 65-in OLED panels connected in an S-shape.

The company’s 86-in stretched LCD display is also tipped for use in the commercial space with its 58:9 aspect ration lending it to applications in airports, commercial and retail. Also on show will be a videowall comprising LG’s 55-in units that deliver a bezel of 0.9mm.

In a written statement, Dr. Sang-Beom Han, vice chairman and CEO of LG Display, said: “We will continue to offer differentiated values to the market and customers and strengthen the company’s leadership by responding quickly to trends in the expanding OLED market, including the fast-growing automotive and signage sectors, by offering various solutions.”

Digital Signage at the worlds largest toy store.

This is the Worlds Largest Toy Store in Russia (Central Children’s Store on Lubyanka). They reopened in 2015 after going through an internal makeover.

Project Everyone - world wide.

Project Everyone ─ the brainchild of filmmaker and comic relief founder Richard Curtis ─ launched on September 26 2015 with the aim of sharing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (a series of ambitious targets to put an end to extreme poverty and tackle climate change for everyone by 2030), with seven billion people over seven days across an extensive range of platforms including digital OOH screens.

Out-of-Home communications agency Posterscope and media agency Blue 449 joined forces with their media partners across the globe to deliver the world’s largest ever digital OOH campaign in order to raise awareness of the initiative. Over 125 media partners came on board enabling the ad to be shown on over 146,000 screens in 450 cities, around 28 different countries, in busy central locations including Piccadilly Circus in London, Swanston Street in Melbourne, Bukit Bintang in Kuala Lumpur, Shibuya Crossing and Shinjuku Kabuki-cho in Tokyo and Times Square in New York. Richard Curtis, founder of Project Everyone, said “The best chance of the UN’s global goals being met is if everyone is aware of them, and that’s where Project Everyone comes in, along with the support of its many partners. I have been overwhelmed by the response of brands, consumers and institutions alike to this initiative. Posterscope and Blue 449 have been instrumental with getting out of home media owners on board to help us get our messages across, to really raise public awareness of the issue at hand. With their help, we have secured sites in the busiest areas of key cities around the world to visualise the global goals and what Project Everyone stands for.” Richard Curtis

Wear The Rose - O2 Projection.

Invisibility Cloak.

Clever projection camouflage from Projection Artworks.

We're often asked if projection can make things 'disappear'. It's hard to do in the daytime - high levels of ambient light will wash out any projection - but we've discovered a highly reflective glass-bead fabric that makes it possible. By projecting the scene behind the cloth onto the front of it, we're almost able to achieve the illusion of invisibility in broad daylight.
