What is digital signage?

Digital signage uses electronic displays to present information, images or video in a physical location. A typical installation combines a screen, a player or built-in browser, content software and a process for maintaining the information.

How is an interactive display different?

An interactive display lets a visitor choose information using a touchscreen or another input. A schedule kiosk can reveal session details on demand; a passive slideshow rotates content without requiring input.

What should I check before choosing a signage app?

Start with the viewing distance, screen orientation, browser compatibility, network access, content ownership and accessibility requirements. Test the app on the intended hardware and confirm current features with its provider.
