Digital Signage, also known as Narrowcasting or Digital Out Of Home (DOOH) advertising, allows information to be displayed on digital screens in almost any location. The information might be advertisements, entertainment, or information. It can be changed or scheduled according to season, time of day, or day of week. Digital Signage is revolutionizing the advertizing and entertainment industries. It is changing the workplace and our travels.
