Landvetter airport, Gothenburg, Sweden and an innovative application with IconOne® Outdoor HB Displays and the Swedish Facility Parking Ltd.

Chris Sheldrake

Point at a movie poster with your Nokia mobile phone then watch the trailer and if you like then get directions to the closest cinema playing it – that’s the vision from Nokia with their relatively new ‘Point & Find‘ technology, launched recently (with far too little fanfare actually) and updated yesterday (Monday 4th May) […]
