Recently Omnivex and Everbridge hosted a joint webinar entitled "Make emergency notifications a critical part of your digital signage network". The webinar highlighted how to share urgent information and notifications across your organization using digital signage. Topics covered included:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies moved their business virtual. Millions of square feet of office space sat empty while employees worked from home offices, kitchen tables - anywhere they could find a quiet space. Over the last number of months, offices have started to reopen. In many cases, companies are reimagining how they will operate going forward. Digital signage provides several unique ways to communicate information and create an office environment that reflects post-pandemic needs.
With people back in stores, stadiums, and facilities worldwide customer experience has become an important priority for many organizations. Expectations are high and organizations must find new ways to up their customer experience game!
QR codes have been around for close to 30 years; however it is only in the last few years they have gained traction. Today their uses are numerous and important in our rapidly evolving post-pandemic world.
Is the mall dead? It’s easier than ever to make this argument, considering the last 18 months of record ecommerce sales and the reluctance to shop in person due to the pandemic. However, industry experts believe the mall is ready for a comeback. It will look different, though, and leverage technology to create new experiences for shoppers.
When thinking about accessible design interactive kiosks often come to mind. Interactive kiosks offer designers a lot of options when it comes to accessibility. In the last infographic, we talked about what you should know and consider before setting out to design an accessible solution. In this part, we’ll look at how design can help make your kiosk accessible.
Information and context are critical when communicating in any environment to any audience. This is especially true in healthcare. Both the evolution of technology and the recent pandemic have dramitically changed patient and visitor expectations around information access in healthcare. For hosiptals, clinics and healthcare systems at large, digital signage provides an efffective tool for communicating important real time information.
When designing solutions for interactive kiosks, you have a bit more flexibility to customize and personalize the user experience, making the solution more accessible for everyone. With kiosk solutions built using Omnivex software, you can easily add options to move menu buttons to more accessible areas, integrate a high-contrast color option, or allow users to increase font size.
As designers, it’s important to know who we are designing for. Who is our audience? Most importantly, who is our client’s audience? When thinking about typography and accessibility, think about how it may look to someone with a disability, whether they are visually impaired or dyslexic or any other disability, and how you can use your design skills to make your design more accessible.
There’s a lot to think about when it comes to creating accessible digital designs. If part of our design isn’t clear or visible to part of our audience, then why is it there? Is it important if some people have trouble seeing it? Part of designing with color is using color correctly so your key message is clearly legible to everyone.
