Digital signage and touch-screen application for trains, planes and automobiles.
One of the key advantages of digital signage is the ability to be able to change content as a reaction to an external trigger or event. Acquire incorporates many such triggers as ways of changing pages or playlists. This might be something as simple as a receptionist pressing a key on a keypad to change playlists to welcome different visitors.
Acquire’s multicast, content deployment technology – the PLUS! Network, has always been compatible with 3G internet connections but just showing a playlist of adverts and information has not made the most of the available technology…until now.
With an Acquire player and a 3G connection in your vehicle of choice, the Acquire Editor and its Google Maps plugin is used to draw areas or zones along the intended route. Accurate to about 5 metres, these zones are then associated with different playlists so that the appropriate playlist is triggered as the vehicle enters the zone. The Google Maps plugin takes the data from the GPS signal and produces a visual representation.
“We already have one of our resellers waiting to use the new GPS plugin for a taxi system trial which will start this month”, explains Neil Farr (MD of Working Solutions). “The screens will be utilizing Acquire’s interactive technology to allow passengers to select relevant local information. They will also be able to see their speed, heading and location on the Google map.”
