Wayfinding and orientation
Where things are, and which way, at the point where somebody is lost.
Smart cities and public spaces
Civic information,
across the whole city.
Street kiosks, park boards, civic buildings and transport interchanges are one estate with one problem: keeping every screen current, and knowing which ones are dark. That is what the console is for.
Plans, prices and trials are set by your ScreenQube partner.
Where it ends up
You work in a browser.
They see the wall.
The screen above is what you publish. This is where it ends up — a display a customer stands in front of, driven by a player that fetched it on its own.
What goes on the screens
Six things worth putting up.
Every one of these is ordinary media, arranged in Composition and sent out by Publish. Nothing here needs a separate system.
Public notices and civic announcements
Published to a district, a ward, or the whole estate.
Emergency and weather messaging
One publish reaches every screen you selected.
Events and works
Road closures, markets and civic events, with an end date.
Multiple languages
A composition can carry more than one language in rotation.
Live conditions
The App Store carries weather, news, currency, YouTube, tickers and embedded web content, alongside your own media.
Where the screens go
Four walls that earn it.
-
Street kiosks and totems
Wayfinding, notices and civic information at pavement level.
-
Civic buildings
Directories, counters and service information.
-
Parks and public spaces
Events, rules, and seasonal notices.
-
Interchanges
The screens beside the transport information, not instead of it.
How it is run
Four steps, then it runs itself.
The same four steps whether you have four screens or four hundred. This is the real console, not an illustration.
-
Add facilities, pair screens
One facility per site, branch or building. A screen joins by showing a registration code, which you type in once. Switch between facilities from the header.
-
Upload and compose
Media goes into the library, in folders, with tags. Composition arranges it into zones — your own files, plus App Store apps like weather, news or a ticker.
-
Publish three ways
On a schedule, with day sequences. Or QuickPlay, which the console describes as displaying content instantly for a flash sale or an emergency. Or as the default composition a screen falls back to.
-
Check it, without going there
Live Monitoring reports each screen's state. Take Screenshot shows what one is really displaying. Reload, clear the cache or reboot it remotely.
What it fixes
The three complaints we actually hear.
- A city estate is dozens of screens nobody has a list of.
- Screens belong to facilities, and every facility is counted on the dashboard.
- An emergency notice has to reach everything at once.
- Publish targets every facility in one action.
- Nobody can say which screens were dark during the incident.
- Live Monitoring counts disconnected screens; Reports run in three kinds: a Media Report, an Uptime Report and Audit Logs.

Questions
What smart cities and public spaces teams ask first.
Can it show live air quality or traffic?
Weather is a confirmed app, and so are news, currency, YouTube and tickers.
Can wards manage their own screens?
Yes. Each ward or district can be a facility, and users belong to groups that decide what they can reach.
Can it be hosted inside our own network?
On-premise hosting has not been confirmed.
What runs on the screens?
An Android player app on displays you own.
Put it on every screen.
