Intel to show proof-of-concept for intelligent DS at Screen Media Expo Europe

Intel is set to showcase its proof-of-concept installation for intelligent digital signage, combining two 1080p panels with multitouch, multiuser capabilities, at Screen Media Expo Europe in London in May.

Built on the Windows 7-based Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 2011 and the Intel Core i7 processor, the system also employs a camera on the top bezel and video analytics for facial recognition.

Suggested uses, according to Intel, include product selection in stores. For example, the display can show appropriate clothing according to the customer's height and gender as determined by the video analytics; the customer can then make their choice through the touch-enabled screen and download a coupon to their mobile phone. A holographic layer can also be used for a see-through effect, the company says.

The Intel technology will be on stand E13 at Screen Media Expo Europe, which runs May 5 and 6 at Earls Court in London.
