Technologies come and go. For some innovations such as the Internet, in a brief amount of time they change the way we conduct our lives, for others, such as the video cassette recorder, after a few decades of relevance they are usurped by newer, more modern technologies and become confined to history.<\/p>\n

Digital signage<\/a> has been around for about ten years now, but what does its future hold, and will we still be viewing out of home screens in a decade\u2019s time?<\/p>\n

Digital signage has been around since modern flatscreen TVs first came on to the market. The lightweight, unobtrusive nature LCD and plasma screens made them ideal for placing on walls to provide advertising content.<\/p>\n

Soon our shopping malls, airports, and other locations that receive large amounts of visitors became littered with digital signage displays, and they are now found in doctor\u2019s surgeries, gas stations, pharmacies and outside as outdoor digital signage.<\/p>\n

Today, the global digital signage market is a multi-billion dollar market and by 2017, it is estimated that globally the digital signage market will be worth $14 billion.<\/p>\n

With the advent of technologies such as high definition, glasses free 3D and facial recognition software, digital signage is expected to advance, maybe not in installations, but advance in sophistication, providing both consumers and advertisers more opportunities.<\/p>\n

Digital signage<\/a> is here to stay, but the shape and design of future out of home systems may make the modern digital signage display as antiquated as the VCR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
