Hello ehb-ga,

You ask, ?Where can video go?? The answer is, ?Anywhere and
everywhere.? Researching your question I discovered a new vocabulary
for the kind of advertising examples you gave as examples in your
question.

Here are the current terms:
·	electronic display networks
·	captive audience networks
·	electronic billboards
·	digital media networks
·	out-of-home media networks
·	digital in-store-merchandising
·	retail media networks
·	place-based media
·	digital signage
·	intelligent visual information systems

All of these discuss the variety of places and ways that video-based
advertising can be brought to the public. Video displays are
increasingly being used to replace static promotional displays. This
means advertising in all its forms.

Some of the advertising is aimed at captive audiences like taxi cabs
or elevators. All transportation modes can be included here, i.e.,
buses, airplanes, escalators, etc. Other captive places are situations
where people have to stay put while waiting for something to happen.
They may be waiting for personal services such doctors, dentists, oil
change, car mechanic or social services. They might also be waiting
for public events while standing in line for making a purchase (retail
point-of-sale) or admittance to a performance (movies, sports events,
shows, etc.) or their turn to experience something (amusement park
rides, ski lifts, miniature golf, etc.) Video displays might be used
to provide active advertising to all of these captive audiences.

Another emerging market for video displays is the retail arena. Stores
are implementing a variety of stand-alone and networked video displays
to present dynamic advertising to the customer. The displays can be
interactive tools or kiosks for products like CDs, DVDs and games.
They can be billboard type displays in stores to display multiple
options to shoppers in that area of the store. They can be
informational displays on specific products or product categories that
educate the potential customers about products they may be unfamiliar
with and reluctant to buy. The networked versions of digital display
networks can also be used to implement or complement national,
regional or local marketing campaigns by particular store chains
(Wal-Mart, Good Guys) or product lines. This is a growing field and
the video displays can be implemented in almost any retail settings
including the restaurants and malls you mention.

Video displays are also entering the self-serve retail market. ATM
machines in banks and gas pumps are the most obvious. They could be
added in any application where an individual is interacting with a
machine to accomplish a service.

Video billboards like the Times Square example are also growing. Any
conventional billboard is a candidate for replacement by a digital
video billboard. Venues with high traffic volume going passing by at a
reasonable speed so the billboard can be read and absorbed are good
candidates for video displays. Bus and other transit stations are
increasingly using video displays.

Here are some links to help you explore the possibilities further.
Please be sure to ask for clarification if the generalized links don?t
provide you with sufficient detail.

Wishing you well for your project.

Digital Signage News 

Dynamic digital signage refers to customizable displays that deliver
targeted content, such as product advertisements, weather updates, and
news. These digital signs can be changed dynamically to reflect
differences in the viewing audience from location to location, morning
to afternoon, etc. Below I'll try to keep up with the news from this
rapidly-evolving industry, looking for everything from the biggest
plasmas being produced to the newest marketing trends.
