Digital displays can capture 400% more views than static signs. It’s crucial to ensure your digital signage is of the latest, sharpest and brightest quality to get your brand message across.?

LED displays offer enhanced visibility, making them easier to read and to spot from a distance. This guarantees you lots of attention, even in bright or outdoor environments.

With so many different formats, from window displays to video walls, our custom LED signage can help boost your brand, dazzle your customers and cut through the noise to deliver your message loud and proud.?Take a look here.

Keeping the world connected: Sim Local

Everyone wants to stay connected when they’re travelling. If you’re an avid traveller, you might have spotted Sim Local’s stores and vending machines dotted around over 100 airports.?

After a recent rebrand of its stores and kiosks, we were asked to upgrade their existing LCD digital infrastructure. By refreshing Sim Local’s digital interfaces, we improved customer experience and continue to draw the attention of passers-by to stores and vending machines.?Read more about how we did it here.

Some brands may have avoided investing in the past due to perceived barriers, but friend of Pixel and all-round AR expert Alastair Eilbeck, Ph.D., Director at media arts studio, Meyouandus, and AR technology startup FeedAR., says that retail businesses often already have the spatial data they need to support AR, the main challenge is integrating the right thinking across the business.
