Cloud Based Smart Displays

System design, software, FPGA and hardware development for multi-media capabilities

The Challenge

Turnkey product development of large, ultra-thin and smart displays used in cloud based digital advertising applications – including system design, software, FPGA and hardware development for multi-media capabilities.

Client: Large Advertising / Media Company

Location: New York, USA

Work with visionaries bent on creating disruptive innovations that change the way we live.

Go beyond what others said was the technically possible limit to reach our common goal of delivering successful products when the market needs them.

Embrace multiple challenges by constantly innovating to create a unique product that transforms how content is delivered and experienced in the physical world.

THIS IS HOW WE DO IT

Orthogone designed an ultra-low-profile, connected, secured, and cost effective, high resolution, multi-media (video & sound) smart display, with superior artistic rendering. Initial deployments successfully field tested and model proven.
