Green Kiosks Interact with
Mobile Phones, Part 1
By John W. DeWitt
 Environmental media company EcoMedia has deployed more
than two dozen digital screens along with several interactive kiosks at
Mesa Riverview, Kimco Realty’s 1.3-million-square-foot shopping center
in Mesa, Ariz. Following EcoMedia’s business model, which funds local
green initiatives with up to 50 percent of its advertising revenues, the
signs and kiosks combine paid tenant promotions with environmental
programming—e.g., profiles of celebrities who have “greened”
their homes and energy-saving tips for consumers. The touchscreen kiosks
even dispense coupons in an environmentally manner—via text message
to shoppers’ mobile phones. Now, with technology partner Aerva,
EcoMedia is rolling out its green kiosks and signage to additional 20
shopping centers around the country. Digital Signage Update
talked about the technology behind the network with Sanjay Manandhar,
CEO of Cambridge, Mass.-based Aerva. more>>
