You might consider rolling your own with a Raspberry Pi on wifi and showing a 
webpage fullscreen. Cheap solution for easy testing things. 

Also hi Desi!

Re: [MCN-L] Elevator digital signage

[Bryon Thornburgh]

Desi,
We recently looked at installing digital signs in our existing elevators and it 
was too costly (~$10K for 3 elevator cars). Alternatively, we installed signs 
directly outside the elevators on every floor. Our goals for these signs are 
first to replace the physical signs throughout the building and in the 
elevators that are not accurate since we are temporarily using our galleries 
for exhibitions/collections that wouldn't normally be there while our other 
building is closed for remodeling. The second goal is to experiment with these 
signs (messaging, wayfinding, etc.)  as we think about the re-opening of our 
second building and how we'll use the digital signs in that building/throughout 
the campus. It is TBD if these signs will stay installed once our other 
building re-opens, but based on the positive feedback I'm hearing, I'd be 
surprised if we take them down.

Our digital sign vendor is Four Winds Interactive. The elevator signs are using 
their media player-less solution. We've looked at a number of other vendors 
(Ping, Toshiba, Tightope, etc.) as part of the building remodel project and I 
would be happy to chat more about what we are seeing.

I was intrigued by the digital signs in the elevators by the Luce Center at The 
Met. The content changes as the elevator stops at each floor to show you what 
is on that floor. Seems pretty basic, but I thought it was done quite well.

Hi all,

At The Warhol, we're renovating our elevators and considering adding digital 
signage to message basic information to visitors.

At your institution, do you have digital signage in elevators? If so, what 
vendors did you use? What are the goals for your elevator signage? Have you 
found elevator signage to be a successful communication tool?

Thanks in advance!
Desi
