Welcome to Large Audience Display Systems™ Many are familiar with the expression 'stepping out of the box' and understand, or have experienced firsthand, how important this 'challenging of assumptions' perspective can be. In fact it alone can lead to simple changes that produce substantially improved outcomes. In several ways Large Audience Display Systems' story began with an embracing of this principle, but with a slight twist: learning how important it could also be (up to 10x --or more) to 'step out of the circle.' Here's a brief account of our own 'stepping out' story: Stepping Out: Whether it's concerts, advertising, digital signage, trade shows / conventions, or entertainment content, to effectively communicate and engage audiences--you have to be seen. Clearly, 'seeing' is one of the best ways to take in the most information (or impressions) in the least time. Especially when increased awareness and effective engagement are the dominant outcomes being sought. At Large Audience Display Systems (LADS™ for short) that presented the challenge of taking on some long-standing limitations of older display-system approaches. Some of the major limitations observed were, how those former systems were restricting the size of their audiences--and the degree of audience awareness that could be taken in by them--instead of both being increased. For example, older venues incorporating 360-degree display systems, or dome-systems, were constraining their audiences within a smaller inner-diameter viewing area, with each viewer located back far enough away from a surrounding screen to 'take some of it in' but not too close to cause motion sickness. Constrained within this inner diameter, less than a major portion of the screen-display was typically all one could see at a given time and much of the remaining space occupied by the system could not be employed to accommodate its viewing audience--and was essentially wasted space. This audience 'smaller-circle-within-a-bigger-circle' approach reduced audience size so much that it often made it difficult for such facilities to remain economically viable. Breaking the Bounds of Audience-Constraining Display Systems Observing the limitations of these older screen-display approaches set in motion a path to developing a new approach that could 'break the bounds' of such audience-limiting constaints, and led to the designing of systems capable of expanding viewing-audiences--with commensurate increased-awareness--by up to tenfold (or more). It also made it possible to now design and scale projection or pixelated display systems, to just about any size: from smaller indoor systems all the way up to larger systems employable in arenas, stadiums, theme parks and various outdoor environments. Of course, it didn't hurt that video projection and pixelated display materials technology (an absolute requirement in the displaying of live video imagery) began to advance quickly from about the year 2000. With video projector lumen ranges increasing by orders of magnitude, and pixelated displays and materials similarly making great strides, 'the stage was set' (so to speak) to make practical the incorporation of these new technologies into Large Audience Display Systems™ (or even smaller indoor, or arcade, systems) as needed.
