A connected vehicle configured to detect presence of people near the connected vehicle via one or more proximity sensors is disclosed. The connected vehicle may be configured to reproduce one or more audio advertisements via external displays and/or external speakers of the connected vehicle. The one or more advertisements may be reproduced in such a way that the one or more advertisements reproduced may provide the people with an alert message informing them of the presence of the connected vehicle, in place of imaginary engine sounds, for safety of people outside the connected vehicle.

A smart device for the promotion of shelf products exhibited in consumer commercial settings may utilize sound, motion, light, and smell when a consumer is proximate a shelf. The smart may consist of a motion transmission system (T) installed in a box (1), a modular universal gripping system (32), an integrated electronic circuit board (35) on which control and command components are installed; an electronically controlled magnet lamp (24), a smell dispenser (28), an audio system (A) consisting of a loudspeaker (34) and an audio amplifier (37), a motion sensor (29), and communication means (C) for bidirectional transmission/reception of the commands for operation parameters. Operation parameters may be keyed to a consumer's characteristics, reports on the traffic in front of the shelf where the device is installed, and the number of interactions with the consumer. This information may be uploaded on the web platform and provided as a report.

Techniques and systems are described for dynamic modification of digital signage based on device edge analytics and engagement. For instance, the described techniques enable content output of a signage device to be dynamically modified based on different environmental conditions, such as human behaviors indicating likely interest in an instance and/or type of content. Further, different types of sensor data are utilized to automatically detect such behaviors, such as via sensor mounted to and/or adjacent a signage device.

A messaging apparatus for wearable items. The messaging apparatus may comprise a light source, at least one sensor to detect are event, and a controller to control the flashing of the light source in response to the detection of the event. The controlling of the flashing of the light source may generate at least one visible element that is visible to a viewer. Further, the light source may not be adapted in the form of the at least one visible element, but rather, the controlled flashing of the light source may be in the form of the at least one visible element.

Provided is a control device including a control unit that executes a process of causing a speaker to stop speaking on a device toward which the speaker speaks on a basis of a result obtained by analyzing speech content based on a result of the speaker speaking toward the device.

An illuminated signage has a housing that carries a plurality of signage panels having a photoluminescent area carrying indicia for the signage. The signage panels are carried in a channel extending across a front face of the housing. An electrical circuit controls a plurality of light emitters that are configured to illuminate when the photoluminescent area has been depleted and is no longer producing enough luminescence to illuminate the indicia. The electrical circuit may also be configured to illuminate the LEDs on demand.

A holographic projection system is disclosed for cost-effectively generating “real image” holographic images. In at least one embodiment, the system provides an at least one primary image source configured for projecting a primary image via an at least one light ray. A computing device is in communication with the at least one primary image source and configured for providing the primary image to be subsequently projected by the at least one primary image source. A curved reflector is positioned and configured for receiving and reflecting the at least one light ray toward a focal point of the reflector, the at least one reflected light ray converging at an image point so as to create a hologram of the projected primary image at the image point, with said hologram being viewable by an at least one observer.
