Future Developments
But what about the future of the digital screens? Here's what we're trying to achieve now and in the future (subject to change).
Near
- CCSG screen updating
- Implement audience targeting for all screens.
- Adding more content areas such as research-related items e.g. for advertising shared facilities, research seminars.
- Updating the Big Screen design to match new branding
- Updating OneLan to v23.1.0, which includes a new UI.
- Creation of a library of widgets that channels can pick between depending what suits those audiences
- Such as weather widgets, news updates, study space availability
Far
- Consolidate screen content into a universal playlist that can target content based on location and audience to reduce duplication of scheduling.
- Convert the majority of assets to HTML feeds that can be created from web content automatically
- Ad Hoc Streaming to the big screen and social channels for Event Takeovers.
- Advert space for additional revenue
