Context
Digital signage is a means of communication based on modern digital media such as large format displays (LFD), led-walls and touch tables.
Typically, passive and retail-focused, this form of communication is constantly seeking innovative methods to boost user engagement through content and interactive experiences.
Emerging AI technologies and the broad availability of inexpensive sensors could unlock new possibilities in this domain.

Challenge
Find innovative ways for retail companies (e.g.sportswear) to use digital signage mediums such as LFDs with sensors and AI services to engage customers to attract and keep them in the stores.

Challenge assumptions

LFD could be displays, tablets or ledwallsand can be placed inside, outside or behind windows.

You can get information coming from IoT devices (sensors) like:customer proximity, customer image (Webcam), external temperature/humidity as well as TVOCs, NO2, O3.

AI help could come from available services or from innovative services built on top of them

LFDs can change their brightness or be turned on/off dynamically of needed from remote commands

Real usage of the available sensors will be a plus but is not mandatory
