Description
Digital signage is a way of electronically displaying information in public spaces on campus. A digital sign consists of a display device, a wall mounted LCD screen, and a computer that will play back content. Rise Vision provides 300+ easily customizable templates to fit a variety of needs. These templates fit use cases such as Collegiate Sports, Sharing Health Information, Alumni Career Highlights, Severe Weather Warnings, and more.
Rise Vision does have some limited interactive capabilities so that a viewer can actively select information on the display. However, this requires a custom website specifically tailored to deliver the information as well as a touch display.
Who Has Access
UMKC Faculty and Staff.
