Tijdens de grootse zomercampagne zullen consumenten voor het eerst niet alleen ‘Coca-Cola’ op het drankje aantreffen, maar aan een zijde ook één van de 150 populairste Nederlandse voornamen, zoals Thomas, Sanne of Tim. Ngage Media heeft een doorvertaling gemaakt op deze campagne naar haar grote digitale schermen waarbij iedereen zijn of haar voornaam kan sms-en naar shortcode 2580. De voornamen worden vervolgens direct levensgroot getoond op het Coca-Cola etiket op de digitale schermen van Ngage Media. De campagne wordt ondersteund met promotieteams op verschillende locaties. De campagne is uitgevoerd in opdracht van Universal Media.

Adobe XD explores the analog future.

Our XD team revealed a few projects they're working on at Adobe MAX 2013. The team has been exploring how new form factor displays, new interactions (like touch and gesture), cloud connections and even new hardware might change how you all create and in turn how it might impact what software we need to build.

We actually started project Mighty, our “cloud pen” to help us focus on the future of drawing. I’ve always been a little obsessed with drawing. An early mentor of mine said: “If you can’t draw, you can’t think. I guess I took that to heart. The good news is that absolutely anyone can train himself or herself to draw. With the right tools to support you it’s a little bit like learning to ride a bike – you just have to keep doing it until you tease out your own style of drawing.Our

second exploration, code named Napoleon is complementary to Mighty. This digital ruler is designed to bring back some of the feeling of drawing with analog tools like the t-square and triangle. Adobe has been talking about building a physical drawing aid like this ever since we built our first digital drafting table, almost two years ago.

Safety Ski Pole Concept Design.

 

 

One of the big fears of skiers is getting injured or lost on the mountain. That is why the concept designers from Yanko Designs have created something called the Safety Ski Pole. This device looks like your typical ski pole. But it comes with an integrated GPS tracking unit so that rescue units can zero into your location. The other safety feature is a pico projector mounted into the handle that will project SOS onto the snow so that helicopters will be able to see you easier. If this concept becomes a reality it could really help distressed skiers worldwide.

Digital Signage Network for Ski Lift Operator.

Navori QL software has been chosen to power the digital signage network of ski lift operator Compagnie du Mont Blanc (CMB) for the French Chamonix Mont Blanc area.

"Our partnership with one of the leading ski resort operators highlights the level of integration our technology offers," said Philip Bertolle, business development director of Navori International SA, Lausanne, Switzerland. "The installations are up and running 24/7 at altitudes up to 3,300 meters (10,827 feet) and at -40 C (-40 F) .

" The typical communications content the NAVORI QL platform delivers is public transportation departure information. Screens are also being integrated in cable lift cabins and buses.

CMB opted for the NAVORI QL technology because of the play-out quality of the system, the versatility it offers and the ease of use of the platform, the company said. CMB operates the system fully independently but can give access to third parties such as the tourist office to access part of the programming on the different screens.

Chamonix-based Compagnie du Mont-Blanc (CMB) was one of the first ski lift companies to operate in France. Under a concession contract, the CMB is engaged in serving and providing transportation in the mountains by ski lifts, chairlifts, gondolas, cable cars and cog railways. CMB operates in the municipalities of Chamonix, Vallorcine and St. Gervais and manages four high-altitude ski areas in the Chamonix valley: Les Grands Montets, Balme, Brévent-Flégère, Les Houches; and three world-famous excursion sites: Aiguille du Midi, Montenvers - Mer de Glace and the Mont Blanc Tramway.

Out-of-home software developer Key Systems is 'putting its money where its mouth is' by advertising its job vacancies on digital posters around Birmingham. Signature Outdoor's CityVision digital screens in the city centre are broadcasting its employment ads to thousands of passersby every day.

"In meeting the demand for global expansion, Key Systems has built its team of highly skilled and committed developers over many years," comments Mike Dillon, Key Systems chief executive. "By using the out-of-home medium, and digital signage in particular, we will attract the right candidates. We also want to demonstrate that we believe in the reach and power of outdoor media."

CityVision, launched by Signature Outdoor just last year, features a 4 x 6m digital billboard outside Birmingham's Bullring shopping centre, and a 6 x 3m LED screen in the heart of the city, which has recently gone live. The network is powered by a Scala media player coupled with Key Systems's Fusion software and Digital Director module for scheduling and content management.

Key Systems is looking for C#, VB.Net and SQL software developers to work on a number of projects, including opportunities in the USA, Europe and Australia, the company adds.

Ocean Outdoor marketing director Richard Malton: “This is the first screen we are installing in Glasgow and the first full motion digital screen in a Scottish city centre. Glasgow was our first port of call and we had been looking at installing one there for a while.”

Glasgow, which hosts the 2014 Commonwealth Games, is the UK’s largest retail centre outside of London.  St Enoch Centre is one of the busiest shopping malls in Scotland, attracting more than 20 million shoppers last year.

Europe's largest digital screen.

The combined length of the two giant LED panels is almost equal to that of a Boeing 747, says One Outdoor

One Outdoor Media has unveiled what it claims is Europe's largest digital screen, located at junction 9 of the M6 in Walsall. The panels are 'almost the length of a Boeing 747' says One Outdoor, a subsidiary of digital signage manufacturer Elonex.

The site will target both northbound and soutbound traffic with 35 x 7.2m and 30 x 7.2m displays respectively, reaching 3.44 million travellers every fortnight. It can also be seen from nearby industrial and residential areas, making it 'one of the most prominent advertising sites in Europe'.
"We are thrilled to increase our portfolio of displays with this iconic site," comments One Outdoor managing director Christian Clayton. "We are poised to make a difference in outdoor advertising by leading the European market with large scale format screens to promote the UK and the business within."
Elonex chief executive Nick Smith adds: "This project is part of our 2013/2014 £14 million investment into a UK-wide roll-out of large-format premium advertising locations in regional cities across the country. The screen carries some unique technology developed in the UK by our dedicated research and design team."
