Digital signage

From Embedded Channels

Digital signage applications deliver rich, engaging experiences for consumers in a variety of environments, including retail stores, hotels, banks, airports. Modern systems include advanced content management, as well as content synchronization and delivery from multiple sources to thousands of remote displays over a widespread network. [1]

The technology was recently showcased at the 2010 National Retail Federation Convention in New York. There, in an interactive digital signage proof-of-concept, a nearly 8-foot-tall interactive LCD and holograph glass touchscreen with anonymous Video analytics was featured. Demonstrated was technology which "enables advertisers to target content to maximize the impact on viewers. The platform also includes Intel® vPro™ Technology with Intel® Active Management Technology, allowing administrators to manage the digital signs remotely even when powered down, which reduces operational costs and increases energy savings." [2]
