In fact there is a technology that is gaining incredible momentum and scale. These days, glasses-free 3D displays deliver incredibly immersive content that will literally stops viewers in their tracks -  that’s right state-of the art 3D displays that don’t require any 3D glasses are available today for digital signage applications, and range from small 3D tablets to large format 100” monitors and they are better than ever before. The technology is like a combination of Augmented Reality and holographic displays like you’ve seen in the movies, but delivered as a fully integrated digital sign that can play stereoscopic 3D advertising and seamlessly work with most digital signage content management platforms.

 

The name of the game in advertising and marketing is creating content that demonstrates engagement and the analytics for 3D Digital Signage are conclusive. Glasses-free 3D signage delivers exponential engagement with all the benefits a client could ask including increased dwell time, elevated sales conversion and memorability on featured products.

 

 

Consumers are first startled, then captivated by these displays, spending an unprecedented amount time watching 3D Ads and digital signage content.  Consumer testing indicates that glasses-free 3D advertising creates a more valuable impression with viewers engaging them for up to (+2000%) longer than a 2D digital display, while the 3D content generates elevated retention of the ad (+300%), and these benefits can ultimately convert to increased sales in retail or point of sale applications (+180%).
