Visionect Debuts an ePaper Sign for Museum and Galleries
The ereader market may have peaked several years ago, but E-ink screens aren’t dead. A small Slovenian startup continues to find new uses and markets.
Visionect announced on Monday that it was adapting its Joan smart meeting room sign for use in museums.
The Amlabel digital gallery display offers museum curators a new alternative to static paper labels, one which can be changed remotely with a minimum of time and effort.
As Visionect explained, a recently surveyed group of museums reported that 66% of the respondents printed more than 200 labels per year while a third printed 500 plus labels per year. All reported an average cost of $70-$100 per label, with a single misprint or a change of text causing this cost to double.
The Amlabel cuts that cost by letting museums and galleries update a label digitally. Not only does this reduce reprint costs but it also lets curators change details, or even the language on the label, at the drop of a hat.
The Amlabel comes in 6″ and 9.7″ screen sizes, and connects to existing Wifi networks. Its battery is good for months.
