Telecine Multimedia, a company specializing in digital signage content, has launched its third subscription-based service called LifeStyle to help users plan for weather conditions, according to a company press release.

LifeStyle, a digital signage solution, provides information and mashes up weather data to help decision making for fun activities. It also includes an automated subscription content service from Telecine that complements the weather content used on many digital signage networks.

"I love nothing more than to take my dog Arthur out for long hikes, but it's not so fun when the weather turns abruptly," Justin Lachovsky, director of sales and marketing for Telecine, said in the release. "With LifeStyle I can get an hourly forecast. Maybe you want to go for a sail; wouldn't it be nice to know not only the forecast but wind and tidal times? These auto-updated, customizable subscription feeds are meant as light-hearted complements to familiar weather services provided by multiple resources, not as replacements. But the information is just as timely, built around 'mash-ups' of data from trusted resources like national weather services."

Content for LifeStyle is built in HTML5, a web-based presentation technology that includes animation and dynamic content updates. Content sequences have a first and second component, showing general conditions like temperature and humidity, and then color coded green, amber and red indicators for the other readings.

Telecine, founded in 1986, is based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
