Public information display screens are now ubiquitous in many global tourist attractions, and serve a dual purpose of informing visitors of the details of the site, while reducing the number of queries received by staff. In many cases now the management of these sites is looking beyond one-way communication with visitors, to a situation where tourists can interact with rich media displays to learn more about the places they are visiting.

A typical casino requires 2,000 or more digital or analog video cameras running 24 hours a day. This volume of video data is not only cumbersome, it is expensive to manage. But with today's advances in digital video technology, the price of maintaining such large surveillance systems is declining, and casinos around the world are taking advantage of these new technologies to lower costs, improve efficiency and reduce the level of complexity.

Most department stores, retailers and grocery stores have started to implement a system for customers to ‘price check’ items found in the store. A price checker is an electronic kiosk that allows customers to scan the barcode of any item in the store to view the price of that item. These price checkers are especially useful in bigger stores, where items get moved around, and price tags fall off. However there is no added value to the overall customer experience. The customer can access the exact same information from a price tag. If stores are providing and installing these price checking stations, they could upgrade the experience with little added cost.

Modern casinos offer an immersive experience that includes the provision of information and entertainment to players during a game. By offering current information on the state of play at a particular table, for example including the amount of cash in the pot or details of previous winning hands, digital displays can enhance the experience of casino visitors.
