Find out how outdoor LCD info points make modern cities more attractive, useful and interesting for everyone!
Outdoor LCD Info Points are here to stay, and they will reshape our modern cityscapes for the better. Across multiple implementations – ranging from interactive information kiosks to digital signage or simply through strategically place tablets – this technology has a tremendous potential to improve communication and add to the quality of life of modern city-dwellers.
If you’ve been paying attention to the evolution of outdoor LCD info points, it’s likely you have already noticed the increasingly creative and useful implementations cropping up throughout cities all over the world. For those who may still be wondering exactly what the benefits of outdoor LCD info points are for smart cities, we’ve created this guide to give you a straightforward overview:
Communicating with Visitors and Supporting Tourism
Is there are a better way to communicate directly with visitors of a city, than through some key touchscreens placed in strategic urban locations? From checking local maps for useful hotspots to getting useful information on nearby points of interests or even getting a selfie, there are many useful activities that can be supplied very easily catering to the touristic sector.
It’s also a very simple way to supply city visitors with a stream of information regarding the latest activities and events to be enjoyed locally, as well as offering guidance on the most interesting touristic routes in a simple and convenient format that can send information to the visitor’s very own smartphone and other mobile gadgets.
Since this type of communication will indirectly benefit local business catering to tourists, that means there is potential to please many different types of onlookers. In fact, even local citizens stand to benefit from some of this electronic information, as pointed out in the next section.
Improved Accessibility
Electronic kiosks are obviously useful to tourists, but much of the same information can also come in handy to locals. From getting up-to-date weather reports to checking for parking spots, nearby pharmacies and useful phone contacts, local information is available at the touch of a button screen.
The cities of the future will be increasingly smarter, as more of these solutions are implemented and interwoven as network for up-to-date information that everyone can easily check up on and benefit from. The same information available through information kiosks can easily be offered as a mobile app that effectively allows citizens to connect with the local stream of information that allows them to use their electronic devices to stay up to date with their neighbourhoods and cities.
Can you imagine the incredible communication potential in having urban information networks that instantly keep citizens notified on all kinds of pressing matters – from traffic jams and local disasters to something as simple as learning which roads are currently undergoing public work? And facilitating the resolution of public emergencies is just the tip of the iceberg, since a public information network can just as effectively be used for leisure and cultural purposes.
Elegant event promotion
Have you ever missed a local event simply because you didn’t happen to notice the flyer advertising it? This is a natural result of information overload – which won’t be a problem in the future, since the proliferation of electronic information systems will make it simpler for you to subscribe to notifications from public events you like (just like you subscribe to a website you like) so you can make sure that specific content will be shown to you in the future.
When it comes to promoting public events, electronic screens have huge potential that simply isn’t available through conventional formats like flyers and posts. Content can be presented in attractive multimedia formats, and public screens can work together to cycle key information specific to people in one area or neighbourhood. This exciting versatility will be useful both for informative as well as for advertising purposes.
Bespoke, tailored advertising
Can you imagine a future where your favourite city corners know a little about your preferences and greet you with only with information you will care about? Just like Internet ads are incredibly refined nowadays to the point they specifically shape up to your browsing habits, the same principle will soon apply to electronic kiosks and even electronic ad billboards, which are getting extremely creative and sophisticated in the way they interact with on-lookers.
Modern cityscapes will become increasingly more colourful and animated as these technologies are implemented. There is also a real potential to connect people in a city by sharing relevant information in a simple and cross-compatible electronic fashion. Is your business or service ready to join this evolution?
