MOTF 2.0 / Digital display options

Three ways to make signage digital.

One practical. One architectural. One portable. Move through the options, then explore each product in detail.

Option 01 / 03Vertical 7.5 / 10-inch stanchion display
Bright-space signage

A slim vertical 7.5-inch or 10-inch e-paper screen mounted above the existing white retractable-belt stanchion. The pole, base and belt mechanism stay in service.

Option 01 / Connected stanchion signage

The stanchion.
Now digital.

A slim, sunlight-readable e-paper layer for the Museum’s existing queue system—bilingual, remotely managed and designed to stay visible.

Why e-paper

The brighter the space,
the clearer the screen.

Reflective

Reflective e-paper remains readable in direct sunlight.

E-paper reflects ambient light like printed paper instead of fighting it with a backlight.

Bistable

The approved message remains when display power stops.

Power is needed to change the image—not to keep the last frame visible.

Two vertical sizes

7.5-inch for compact messages. 10-inch when more content needs to stay visible.

Working portrait active areas: approximately 98 × 163 mm and 131 × 218 mm. Final cut-outs follow the selected panel datasheets.

Technology basis

Reflective, bistable e-paper uses ambient light for visibility and retains its last image without continuous display power. Content updates and connectivity still require energy.

Prototype principle

Working low-power profile

Months between charges.
Minutes between updates.

This initial performance envelope gives the MOTF prototype a practical basis for battery, refresh, connectivity and fleet-management design before final component selection.

Battery-life design target
3–6months

Working target for prototype validation. Actual endurance depends on update frequency, Wi-Fi signal, panel size, temperature, electronics and battery capacity.

Webedia custom build

Mount above the cap.
Keep the belt mechanism working.

Housing

A slim white vertical enclosure offered around either a 7.5-inch or 10-inch e-paper module.

Mount

A removable adapter fits the existing top cap without replacing the pole or base.

Belt clearance

The retractable belt outlet and receiver remain accessible below the display.

Content

Bilingual layouts designed for queues, thresholds, access and live programmes.

Control

Wireless publishing, status monitoring and a safe last-approved-frame fallback.

Service

Accessible battery, electronics and mounting designed around the Museum’s operations.

Working design basis: vertical 7.5-inch and 10-inch modules—approximately 98 × 163 mm and 131 × 218 mm active area—mounted on the existing white retractable-belt stanchion. Final adapter diameter, enclosure cut-outs, operating temperature, battery, radio and ingress protection follow physical measurements and the selected panel datasheets.

E-paper / Placement strategy

A few digital posts.
Exactly where decisions happen.

The retrofit belongs at queue entries, route changes and operational decision points—not on every stanchion. Standard posts remain untouched between the selected digital touchpoints.

One permanent footprint. Multiple digital expressions.

Option 02 / Permanent installations

One location.
Three expressions.

The architectural position can stay fixed while the display technology changes—from a conventional high-resolution surface to spatial content or mechanically choreographed screens.

Portable transparent touchscreen

A screen that can move.
And does not have to.

The autonomous base makes the 55-inch transparent OLED an ultimate portable setup: reposition it quickly for a queue, lobby, event or route change, then park it as a stable touchscreen. Once in place, visitors can use it for information, programmes and interactive wayfinding.

Concept direction—not a final product specification. Touchscreen integration, parked stability, route safety, localization, supervision, battery duty and accessibility require specialist engineering and a controlled site pilot.

Software layer / All display formats

One control layer.
Every screen.

The Museum can prepare, approve and publish bilingual information across every display family from one place. Each endpoint keeps its own content rules, location, schedule, health and safe fallback state.

01 / Templates

Brand-safe bilingual layouts.

Locked typography, spacing and Arabic/English hierarchy protect consistency across every screen technology.

02 / Locations

Publish to one endpoint or a group.

Address a stanchion, LED wall, hologram, kinetic installation, robot, floor or the full Museum estate.

03 / Scheduling

Information changes with the day.

Set start and end times for admissions, programmes, closures, route changes and show moments.

04 / Governance

Draft, review, approve, publish.

Role-based access and an audit trail make every public change attributable and reversible.

05 / Fleet health

One view of every system state.

See battery, signal, playback, parked location, motion state, last sync and faults according to device type.

06 / Fallback

Every format fails safely.

Preserve the last frame, play an approved idle scene, park a robot or return kinetic hardware to its safe home state.

Webedia Content Studio / Managed service

The screens do not
arrive empty.

With Webedia, the hardware and control platform can come with the content that makes them useful, beautiful and unmistakably MOTF. We create one idea, adapt it intelligently to every display format, and keep the system alive after launch.

01 / Signature capabilityHolographic 3D
Premium three-dimensional content render of a wayfinding arrow built from tactile white, chrome and translucent sculptural forms

3D content people
stop for.

Every spatial concept begins with a location-specific render: the object, light, scale and viewing angle are designed around the actual holographic system before production. Think dimensional wayfinding, evolving artefacts, data sculptures and 3D calligraphic forms—not a flat video forced into a new screen.

3D direction objectsSpatial storiesDigital calligraphyLaunch moments
02 / Utility contentE-paper + stanchions
Close-up concept render of a refined vertical e-paper wayfinding screen fitted above a Museum of the Future stanchion

Perfect information.
Exactly where needed.

Bilingual queue, admission, programme and wayfinding templates designed for instant comprehension, daylight legibility and low-refresh operation.

03 / Motion systemsLED + transparent
Concept render of high-resolution motion content displayed on an architectural digital screen inside a bright museum space

Motion at
architectural scale.

High-resolution motion identities, programme loops, live information and transparent-screen compositions built for the exact dimensions and sightlines of each installation.

04 / ChoreographyKinetic displays
Art-directed concept render of two robotic arms carrying separate screens that align to form one continuous visual canvas

Content composed
with movement.

Each robot carries its own screen and content. Use them separately for parallel information, or bring both displays together so imagery and motion resolve into one larger shared composition.

Ongoing content as a service

A content team
after launch.

Webedia can run the content programme as an ongoing service: maintaining templates, producing seasonal creative, adapting campaigns, preparing urgent operational updates and publishing approved work through Display Control.

The next useful step

Test it
in the actual light.

The site visit should measure actual light, viewing distance, queue behaviour, power and network access—then select one location for a full-scale e-paper prototype and one controlled test for the future-facing concepts.
