At the 2014 Shanghai International Digital Signage & Touch Technology expo, visitors were welcomed to the VIA booth by a smart bowl of Taiwan beef noodle soup featuring a VIA AirTalk Bluetooth LE beacon which delivered information about the popular dish such as its history, ingredients, price, special offers, and other promotions using a pre-installed app on their smart phone. VIA had on display all the ingredients for creating the smart immersive and engaging environments that will shape the smart restaurant of the future, from eye-catching digital menu boards and stunning video walls to wireless broadcasting technologies to communicate directly with customers smartphones.
