DailyDOOH will be four years old on Tuesday 26th July and as usual we celebrated in some style at the Henley Festival… From left to right Adrian Cotterill, Geny Caloisi, Jorge Garcia de Bustos and Andrew Neale in front of ‘Lady Godiva Avec Les Papillons’ – a rather expensive Salvador Dali sculpture for sale.

New North American Network – enVu

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Chris Sheldrake

We know who and what this is but have been sworn to secrecy … or have we? The business is already up and running in North America (not surprising I guess from the official address in Madison Avenue). There are some interesting folks involved to say the least – some of whom may surprise you. […]

Even More Digicom Departures?

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Chris Sheldrake

Following our post a few weeks ago ‘More Digicom Departures‘ we received plenty of emails from loving readers telling us that we wrote was accurate. Paul Pitman as we said in that post has moved on and that was confirmed by a few folks who told us that he had moved across to manage The […]

Most Promising Gesture Technology

Chris Sheldrake

This ‘Panasonic 3D Sensor: D-Imager’ is currently used as a motion capture sensor for the Life Wall*2 exhibited at the Japanese Pavilion in the EXPO 2010 Shanghai China. We asked Panasonic about it but no amount of emails could elicit a response. The video is sort-of self explanatory, although at 5 minutes a bit long […]

Mobile Display Industry Snapshot

Chris Sheldrake

We just had a chance to fully digest Insight Media’s July 2010 issue of Mobile Display Report (MDR) There is some interesting stuff in there and it’s well worth the USD 100 price. We were particularly interested in seeing that pico modules are cropping up in some unique new places meaning that, for example, digital […]

All Change At C-nario?

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

Chris Sheldrake

There appears to be something going on at C-nario. A couple of requests for meetings in September (when usually they really do like to keep themselves to themselves, see our post last week about Skype) at first made us a little suspicious. No one at C-nario will say anything official but we think you can […]

Coffee? I Don’t Think I Like Coffee

Chris Sheldrake

We have another buyer – we use that term ‘buyer’ in its loosest possible sense, Ed – that has, over the years, been spending a lot of the industry’s money looking at digital signage and it would seem that they are up to yet more nonsense. Towards the end of July the Retail IT Procurement […]
