Hi,
we are working on creating an advertising platform with touch capabilities.
HTML5 is a great tool for content creation, that also allows google analytic and other neat stuff that was previously unavailable or too expensive.
Here is what I would like to see (keep in mind i am not very techie):
- a way to point the signage player to a secured web server where HTML5 content is hosted for upload.
- a web server on the the "player's" hardware, that would be able to cache the content and display it even in offline mode
- this web server to be able to store input data: such as touch points, forms, coupon distribution etc.
- some ping action to check and see if there is updated/different content to be distributed to the players
- some kind of way to resume looped content after a viewer has finished interacting with the presented content.
It is my understanding that something like this already exists with myopensign screener, but they are not willing to sell just the software. The explanation is that software is embedded into their hardware, which doesn't make any sense to me, it is probably just a plot to sell their hardware, which in my opinion is outdated and overpriced for what it is.
What are your takes on this guys? Is there any possibility to see this in the future? Is there another way around this?
