We believe that Vision Media Group International plc (VMG) may well be announcing a joint venture (JV) in Canada in the next couple of months (let’s hope they ‘bed’ down their Avanti Mall acquisition first cos’ the exec team are gonna be busy, busy, busy). People we have been speaking to in the US seem […]

This is Pixman running around in the Netherlands. Note the way they have ‘skinned’ their own screen to look like a Samsung phone. Looks really nice.

Actually in our humble opinion poor coverage of what is a very interesting area and they managed to squeeze in-game advertising, mobile advertising and cashpoint advertising all into one ‘bucket’ Anyway nice to see that i-design got a mention on Sky’s Technofile programme… Play And Buy: New Rules Of Advertising Technology is allowing advertisers to […]

It was hard to get the scale of the Landscape Digital screens in the earlier post(s) about EYE and a couple of folks asked how big and which technology. The Landscape Digital displays are Orion MDPDs and as such are 42″ each. EYE configure them side by side in a 32 x 9 configuration. The […]

Adrian J Cotterill, Editor-in-Chief

The suffix ‘pod’ is perhaps getting a little bit over used in our industry as you can see if you were to compare VMG’s Iconic Pod (a good example of a piece of ‘street furniture’), Street Live’s InfoPod (see previous post) with a more PC / kiosk oriented unit like this Cyberpod IV from Aztec […]
