Digital Signage Klips: oovie kiosk

DigitalSignageBlog — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 04:00:07 +0000

Renting movies has become so much easier especially when you have a oovie kiosk. I saw one at a petrol station and thought to myself what a “great idea”. Basically, the kiosk allows you to rent the latest dvd movies and the process is really simple. All you do is select the movie from a touch screen at the front of the kiosk and then process the payment using your credit card. You then collect the DVD and return it the next day. The price of renting the DVD is $2.99 and it needs to be returned the next night by 9:00pm. I’m not sure what the late fees or charges are but according to their website you won’t pay any more than $36.00

I would be very interested to see how the inside of the kiosk looks like. My guess is that these systems are centrally managed by a content management server at head office and whenever there’s a new release the server pushed this out to each of the kiosks. The kiosk probably has an internet connection and a DVD burner which burns the movies onto the DVD. It might even have a DVD printer to print the covers. This is a quite interesting and innovative kiosk and digital signage solution.

First digital signage magazine in Australia

DigitalSignageBlog — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 03:00:54 +0000

We recently received the first digital signage magazine published by an Australia company (alchemedia publishing) and this is really a good sign of the growth of digital signage in Australia.
The great thing about the magazine was the case studies of digital signage implementations of local business in Australia. There is also the traditional advertisements of digital signage companies and manufacturers and this is really good to have as a local directory. We look forward to receiving future magazines and hope to eventually feature in an article.

Clever Dry Cleaners Kiosk Digital Signage

DigitalSignageBlog — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 02:56:23 +0000

I was in Canberra Australia on the weekend and noticed a very clever and innovative kiosk/digital signage solution that I’ve never seen before. Basically, it at a 24 hour dry cleaners service. It’s an automated machine with a small touch screen that allows you to drop off your dry cleaning and pick them up at a later time. The whole point of having this is for convenience – how many of us don’t have the time to drop off our dry cleaning during business hours? There two compartments, one to drop of your clothes and the other to pick up the clothes. My understanding is that the clothes are dry cleaned during the day and are hanged on an automated hanger so all you need to do is enter your receipt number and it will automatically position your clothes to the pickup shaft.

I really haven’t seen it in action so the above is just a guess based on what I saw. Has anyone else seen any innovative kiosk or digital signage solutions?

Techie Question: Are there viewer hot zones on a digital signage screen

DigitalSignageBlog — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 12:47:15 +0000

Google calls this the golden triangle i.e the top right hand corner that most viewers would look at when loading the results of a google search and I was wondering whether this existed on a digital signage screen.

Does the hot zone depend on the type of content that is being displayed on the screen?

Feel free to submit your answer as a comment.

Weekend Fun: Digital Signage and the Audi A4 Convertible

DigitalSignageBlog — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:43:27 +0000

This week we had the opportunity to drive the Audi A4 convertible and we realised how most luxury cars or new model cars will have LCD screens. These are the perfect opportunities to utilise these screens for digital signage and I wonder how many car manufacturing companies are actually thinking about this.

As you can tell from the picture, the Audi has a reasonable sized build-in LCD screen and is primarily used for GPS and as a menu system for radio/CD/TV but I strongly believe it can be also used for digital signage.

Does anyone know of any stock cars which are using digital signage?

Digital Signage at Adelaide Airport

DigitalSignageBlog — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 04:20:34 +0000

Several weeks ago I was in the Adelaide airport and I was surprised on how different the airport digital signage screens was being used and implemented there. This is what I saw:

If you look at the screen closely, you’ll notice that on the top right hand section there is a banner stating “Advertise Here…”. This is the first time I’ve seen an airport trying to promote advertising space which is great to see.

Using your Iphone as a mobile digital signage player?

DigitalSignageBlog — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 05:00:57 +0000

This may sound a bit ridiculous but has anyone thought about using your Iphone as a mobile digital signage player? I mean lets think about this, if people can use the Iphone to watch movies and video clips why can’t it be used as an integrated digital signage player. The unit can be easily connected to the Internet and it also has a touch screen so really its perfect for interacting with your intended audience. With the sheer number of Iphone users out there, setting a digital signage network can be easily established.

All we need now is a digital signage Iphone application… and my guess is that someone is already developing one.

Digital Signage and Google Trends

DigitalSignageBlog — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 05:30:59 +0000

Out of curiosity I decided to perform a Google trend search for the term digital signage – the exact term “Digital Signage” was performed to see what the trend has been over the years. From the image on the left, you can clearly see that the number of people searching for this term has increased over the years and I believe it will constantly continue to grow. But what I was more surprised from the information Google Trends provided was the regions that provided the highest searches. The majority of these regions where the Asian countries.

Here are the results:

Regions

1. Taiwan
2. Malaysia
3. South Korea
4. South Africa
5. Singapore
6. India
7. Canada
8. New Zealand
9. Australia
10. United States

From these results can one assume that there is a higher demand (based on search trends) for digital signage in Taiwan or Malaysia (I’m quite surprised to see malaysia being ranked second on the list) compared to countries like New Zealand, Australia and the United States?
