Can a tablet be classified as an out-of-home advertising device?

Posted by on Apr 27, 2011 in DOOH

Generally the digital out of home advertising industry is fairly liberal in what they would define as a DOOH display. When I asked myself whether tablet PCs in all their recently and belated glory were legitimate digital out-of-home advertising displays, I had to answer myself (I am regularly having conversations with myself) like I do […]

Microsoft Surface vs. Tablet Restaurant Menus

Posted by on Apr 21, 2011 in DOOH

When Microsoft Surface first come out, I recall one of the main selling points was that it would eventually replace the standard restaurant dining table surface as a means of being able to view what you could potentially order as well as give you the ability to charge a credit card by simply placing it […]

Here are some of my thoughts on the restaurant experience of the future. This post includes nothing on digital menu boards, but is mostly a post about the potential power of tablet menus.

You can order directly from the tablets and click through to see various menu items. My apologies that one of […]

Why are you so critical of digital signage tradeshows?

Posted by on Mar 27, 2011 in Advertising

I was having a conversation the other day with a fellow “digital signager” regarding the goodness and not so goodness of tradeshows and other industry events. He was blunt. He lambasted anything that had to do with an industry tradeshow, regardless of what industry you are in. He said they were always a big waste […]

When will Augmented Reality make it into retail?

Posted by on Mar 24, 2011 in DOOH

I just saw a post on TechCrunch which talked about Total Immersions $5.5 million deal with Intel for their augmented reality platform.

Will Tablet PCs Kill Traditional POS Devices?

Posted by on Mar 22, 2011 in DOOH

I had a lengthy conversation the other day with a representative from a company who sells POS (point-of-sale) solutions.
