Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

These days if you are any sort of technology retailer you must have an interactive window display. Following on from Vodafone, Carphone Warehouse and Orange (all reported previously) here we see Sony with one. The picture shows Tottenham Court Road but we are told that there are three in total – the other two being […]

I wonder how many of the 7,000 fans who left Manchester Airport today on their way to Moscow noticed the Mastercard campaign that ran, last-minute, on the brand new Eye Corporation digital screens there? A lot I bet and hey we even have a photo!!! We understand that Eye Corp will be releasing a press […]

Ryarc / Advantech At CeBit Australia

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

Panasonic certainly had the most impressive stand by a long shot at CeBit Australia which opened this week. It was similar to the Broadsign stand you would have seen at DSE in Vegas and ScreenExpo in London – two stories high with a boardroom at the top AND of course the oblligatory 100+” monster screens!! […]

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

It’s very quickly becoming clear which trade shows are coming to the fore and where vendors and suppliers should spend their marketing Euros (it is Euros as we are talking specifically about Europe here).

We noticed that the UK’s Bluewater Shopping Mall has in the last couple of months introduced a 3D television known as an AdPod. It’s in the West Village in the waiting area of the newly refurbished ladies’ washroom (don’t ask!!) and is broadcasting 3D fashion shows from brands such as Diesel and Estée Lauder. AdPod […]

Escalator Wall Wrapped At Waterloo

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

That’s a tongue twister and a half, repeat after me “Escalator Wall Wrapped At Waterloo, Escalator Wall Wrapped At Waterloo” – whilst not digital (at all) we liked this for a number of reasons… First, Ford has chosen an Outdoor Impact format to support their TV campaign for Kuga, its new SUV. Secondly it is […]

PDM And Telstra Do 3D

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

We haven’t been at all impressed with what we have seen with glasses free 3D so far – it’s a far cry from the Digital Cinema 3D experience and surely that is what ultimately it may be measured by? Anyway, PDM and Telstra down under have announced a “groundbreaking 3D content and technology initiative”… 19th […]
