Artistic Signs & Graphics

For advertisers, the idea of being able to capture the attention of your audience, and hold long enough to force the action defined is critical. The media static, such as magazine ads and roadside billboards, can be effective, but only so far. After some time, develop repeat transients mental blind spot. This is one reason why digital signage such promises very interesting possibilities, content can be dynamic, taking viewers and generate a response. However, there is a slow increase of different types of signaling opposition.

In this article I will explain why some consumers are angry about the recent proliferation of digital advertising. We will also examine whether digital networks - and operators - can go too far in its quest engage their audiences permanent.

Bright Lights, Big City

If you've ever market (or take a car) along the Strip in Las Vegas, the expression why thousands of people express dissatisfaction with the propagation of light signals. In late 2008, Los Angeles has become a focal point for the growing movement against them. LED Billboards started the day in neighborhoods throughout Westwood, angering residents who complained of "false dawns" and other annoyances. Some have reported an inability to sleep at night. Others said that drivers are distracted, which raises issues of public safety.

Bill Rosendahl, a councilman in Los Angeles, has acknowledged that thousands of new electronic signs in town were built conflicts of existing regulations. However, also said lawmakers do not even know where the panels are placed throughout the city, making it virtually impossible to implement. As the city is struggling to cope to digital billboards, the question was extended to other states and jurisdictions.

Personalization will go too far?

In 2002, Steven Spielberg released his movie "Minority Report. In one scene a little obsessive, Tom Cruise, with eyes that belonged to someone else (do not ask), between a center of Name. The installation of tens or even hundreds of digital signals. When Cruise precipitated by them, the screens look at his students and calls them by their false identity (that of man's eyes).

"Good afternoon, Mr. Yakamoto," shouted one of the signs. "Did you like this set of 3 tanks who bought the last Once you? "While some viewers laughed, a few of us sitting in our seats and wondered if we were seeing the future of the panels interactive. And if so, whether this represents a level of customization that threaten to invade the privacy of a person?

What are the benefits?

Lest I seem to be an opponent of the digital signage industry, it is important to examine how electronic billboards and other forms of signaling provide a tremendous value. In addition to its obvious advantages for advertisers, billboard LED are used to communicate quickly pieces of information to motorists. For example, alerts, traffic updates, and other objects of high-profile new shows to keep drivers informed. Not only the signs to help control traffic, but can help to bring criminals to the authorities.

The Greater Good

Digital communication technology is a relatively new. As network operators and discover new innovative uses for the medium term, it is natural that the industry will experience growing pains. From the standpoint of flight bird, LED billboards, electronic signs and other signage will continue to grow as developers create interesting content, interactive and informative.

The technology can go too far? As with any interactive media, signaling can be abused. Thus, regulations should be carried out regarding the privacy and security. However, the value offered by signaling to both advertisers and consumers, exceeds more than the possible disadvantages.
