The role of digital signage has evolved exponentially over the last decade. While previously only seen in boardrooms and airport directories, use cases now expand far beyond, from quick serve restaurant drive-throughs to digital out-of-home (DOOH) locations like stadiums and malls. Due in part to its flexibility and versatility, traditional technology like whiteboards in the classroom and projectors in meeting rooms are being swapped out for digital signage that’s driving immersive experiences and creating opportunity for users and consumers everywhere.

 

As customers enter businesses and venues, they are immediately greeted by striking images of digital signage. These signage solutions are becoming a common sight across diverse industries, from the buzzing atmosphere of hotels and sports stadiums to the inspiring spaces of educational institutions and art galleries. They enrich customer experiences in every setting.

 

Digital signage is no longer perceived as a mere advertising display — it’s so much more. It has become one of the most sought-after media platforms for personalized information, content, education, sports, art, and more. These digital signage applications not only change the look and feel of the environment, but captivate and leave a lasting impression on its viewers.

 

As the role of signage in everyday life continues to evolve, so evolves the depth of the market itself, too. According to Fortune Business Insight, the digital signage market is expected to grow to more than $35 billion by 2026.1 Along with the industry’s substantial growth, Samsung Electronics has maintained its number one position in the market for 14 consecutive years,2 and continues to expand the boundaries of digital signage with its unrivalled technology.

      As visitors make their way through the line for ‘Safari World: The Wild’ at Everland, Korea’s largest theme park located in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, a surprising encounter turns the wait into an extension of the safari adventure itself. On a display with true-to-life scale, realistic tigers and lions appear ready to leap out of the screen and into the queue, adding a heightened sense of excitement before the experience begins.  
      Samsung Electronics recently installed its glasses-free 3D display, Spatial Signage, at the newly renovated Safari World at Everland, adding a new dimension to the visitor experience. Powered by Samsung’s patented 3D Plate technology, the display delivers striking depth and realism without the need for 3D glasses — all within a slim 52-millimeter profile.
      Samsung Newsroom visited Everland to see how Spatial Signage is making the wait more engaging and to hear firsthand how visitors responded to the immersive display.
      ▲ Spatial Signage installed in the waiting area of Everland’s Safari World
      Spatial Signage Sets the Stage for a Safari Adventure
      Even before the safari tour begins, visitors are greeted by animals brought to life on Spatial Signage. The vivid movement and “screen-breaking” three-dimensional effect deepen the sense of immersion, building excitement for the adventure ahead.
      ▲ Spatial Signage heightens anticipation for the safari adventure with its glasses-free 3D visuals. “Following Safari World’s reopening as a reimagined ecological space with enhanced animal welfare, we wanted to connect every stage of the guest experience — from entry and waiting lines to the safari bus ride — under a unified theme,” said Jiyeon Bae, Leader of Partnership & Alliance Group, Resort Business Division at Samsung C&T. “We saw Spatial Signage as the most effective way to lead guest into the safari adventure.”
      Bae added, “To create the atmosphere of a wild expedition, we installed large-scale animal artwork featuring life-size bears, lions and tigers along the waiting route. Extending that visual experience with Spatial Signage, which gives the animals a vivid dimensionality, allowed us to further enhance visitors’ sense of immersion.”
      Despite its large 85-inch size, the display also offers considerable flexibility in installation. “Taking into account the attributes of the waiting area, we created a custom frame that blends seamlessly with Safari World’s atmosphere,” Bae said. “This allowed us to position the display naturally within the queue without disrupting the overall environment.”
      ▲ Bae said watching young children stop to look at the animals on screen shows how Spatial Signage adds a unique element of fun to the waiting area. “Spatial Signage also plays an important role in building anticipation by giving visitors a preview of the animals they are about to see before boarding the safari bus,” noted Bae. “When young children stop in their tracks after spotting a bear or lion on the screen, their eyes often widen with excitement. It becomes clear that the immersive quality of the content is resonating with guests.”

      Turning The Wait Time Into a Fascinating 3D Experience
      Visitors on-site responded enthusiastically. In particular, the glasses-free 3D experience changed the mood of the waiting area, making it feel like more than just a place to stand in line. Rather than simply watching the screen, they interacted with the animals, took photos and treated the wait itself as part of the fun.
      ▲ Visitors take photos with the animals on Spatial Signage, turning time spent waiting into part of the overall experience. One visitor who came to Everland with family said, “It felt as if real animals were moving right in front of us. Taking photos with the kids while we waited made the time fly by.” The visitor added, “Seeing the children get excited even before meeting the real animals has made the trip especially worthwhile.” Students visiting on a field trip were equally impressed. “I thought you needed glasses to see 3D, but the tiger looked so real when it seemed to break out of the screen that it genuinely surprised me,” said one student.
      ▲ Visitors described the vivid movement of the animals on screen as strikingly lifelike. “Seeing the wild animals we are about to meet truly built the anticipation for the safari,” said a couple waiting in the queue together. “It feels like we have already stepped into the safari before even getting on the bus.” A group of tourists visiting Korea also shared their impressions: “The tigers, lions, and bears look so vividly real, as if alive. It makes the wait so much more enjoyable and helps lift spirits before entering the safari adventure.”

      Where Technology Meets Space — A New Spatial Interface
      ▲ Jin, CEO of Klleon, the content development company, emphasized the role of Spatial Signage, serving as an innovative interface that enables visitors to experience the space itself. “Spatial Signage goes beyond simply delivering information — it serves as a spatial interface that enables visitors to directly experience the place they are visiting,” said SeungHyuk Jin, CEO of Klleon, which led the content development for Spatial Signage at Safari World. “We focused on capturing the natural movement of the animals and creating a sense of spatial depth so visitors are immediately immersed in the world of safari while waiting in line.”
      At Everland’s Safari World, Samsung Spatial Signage helps shape the identity of the space and adds a new layer of immersion to the visitor journey. With innovations like Spatial Signage, Samsung continues to set the standard for immersive and engaging display experiences across industries.

      At Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2026, Europe’s largest display exhibition held in Barcelona this February, an installation at the Samsung Electronics booth captured visitors’ attention. Just 52 mm thick, the display shows objects rotating 360 degrees as if floating in midair — without 3D glasses.
      Spatial Signage, Samsung’s glasses-free 3D display, has earned industry recognition with awards at IFA 2025, CES 2026 and ISE 2026. Bringing the concept to life required close collaboration across display, research and design teams — each solving a different piece of the 3D puzzle.
      Samsung Newsroom spoke with experts across the company — Jong-Gu Sun and Yujin Nam from the Visual Display (VD) Business, Chang-Kun Lee from Samsung Research (SR) and Eun Vit Chung from the Corporate Design Office (CDO) — about the journey behind the innovation.
      ▲ Spatial Signage

      Redefining the 3D Visual Experience
      As demand grows for more distinctive visuals, the need for new display solutions is increasing. “We are seeing rising interest in visually striking content that captures attention, such as ultra-large LED-based anamorphic displays,” said Sun. “However, these installations typically require more space than traditional signage and dedicated 3D content.”
      “Spatial Signage delivers immersive 3D depth without glasses or bulky holographic boxes, enabling differentiated experiences across a wide range of environments,” he added. “It also reduces the cost of producing dedicated content while remaining compatible with existing signage systems.”
      ▲ Sun discusses how Spatial Signage brings immersive 3D experiences to life. Turning the concept into reality required a strong technological foundation. “While exploring new signage solutions, we discovered advanced display technology under development at Samsung Research and realized it could enable 3D signage for B2B environments,” said Chung. “From that point, close collaboration among SR, CDO and the VD Business advanced the technology and brought it to market.”

      Inside the Technology Behind Spatial Signage
      At the core of Spatial Signage is 3D plate technology. “The system combines a display with optical components to send separate images to each eye, applying the principle of binocular disparity so the brain perceives depth,” Lee explained. “A lenticular card — which shows different images depending on the viewing angle — is a common example of a 3D plate.”
      ▲ Principle of 3D plate technology “Spatial Signage uses a new method of rendering 3D images to address the limitations of conventional glasses-free 3D displays, such as reduced image quality and narrow viewing angles,” he added. “By presenting the main subject in high-resolution 2D while using a 3D plate to create depth in the background, it achieves both immersion and high image quality.”
      Building an ultra-large, 85-inch 3D display was no easy task. A 3D plate is made by combining lenticular lenses with printed images to produce 3D visuals — and once created, it cannot be adjusted.
      ▲ Lee highlights Samsung’s innovative technology behind the ultra-large, 85-inch 3D display. “If discrepancies between design specifications and the actual structure are not precisely accounted for, the background on screen can appear distorted,” said Lee. “To address this, we developed a special pattern to detect errors during lens production.” By combining this printed pattern with the lenticular lens, the team could quickly identify deviations and adjust printing conditions accordingly.
      Securing depth while maintaining a slim profile was another challenge. Spatial Signage uses a thin 3-4 mm 3D plate to create a box-like sense of space with a perceived depth of up to 500 mm, as if extending inside the screen. “Achieving depth with such thin optical materials made lens design and reliability testing difficult,” Nam explained. “Despite numerous unexpected obstacles, we explored a range of ideas and ultimately improved the product’s quality.”
      ▲ Nam shares how the team achieved a 3-4 mm thickness and 500 mm depth through numerous trials. The team also faced physical limitations. “With an ultra-large 3D plate, gravity can cause sagging, leading to blemishes or distortions, while vertical lenses can produce the moiré effect — a high-frequency, wave-like pattern,” said Nam. “We repeatedly encountered these technical constraints. It would not have been possible without close collaboration across teams.”
      ▲ (From left) Chang-Kun Lee and Eun Vit Chung
      Crafting Depth Through Design
      With the technology in place, the next step was to design an intuitive and immersive visual experience. “To maximize depth on the 85-inch screen, we refined the 3D plate imagery and developed guidelines for image processing that enhance elements such as perspective and shadows,” Chung emphasized. “It is the result of years of accumulated expertise and dedication.”
      As a result, the 3D plate features precisely calculated lines, surfaces and gradient backgrounds, while the foreground 2D content incorporates lighting, shadows and perspective aligned with the background’s depth. “This project felt like bringing virtual images from a 3D program into the real world,” said Chung. “I’ve grown attached to each visual element created through this process.”
      ▲ Chung explains how Spatial Signage reflects Samsung’s design expertise, from 3D plate image design to lighting and perspective. However, implementing the concept proved more complex than expected. “While typical design work can rely on a single image, Spatial Signage requires images to be divided into micrometer-level segments — thinner than a strand of human hair,” Chung explained. In other words, designers had to anticipate how those segments would come together. “It would have been impossible without a deep understanding of optics. By studying and applying those principles, we achieved the sense of depth seen today.”

      New Opportunities for B2B Displays
      Developed through close collaboration across teams, Spatial Signage goes beyond traditional displays and opens new possibilities in everyday environments. To increase its versatility in diverse retail settings, Samsung plans to expand its lineup past the current 85-inch model with 32-inch and 55-inch options later this year.
      ▲ Samsung VXT lets users create signage-ready videos. “Whenever I walk by a café with Spatial Signage, I notice people pausing to look at the display,” said Nam. “For cafés or franchises seeking a more engaging way to promote seasonal menus or events, it can offer a compelling alternative.”
      AI Studio,1 an AI-powered content creation app within Samsung Visual eXperience Transformation (VXT), lets users create signage-ready videos from a single product image. In addition to supporting standard digital signage, it offers an option to optimize content specifically for Spatial Signage — delivering a truly immersive experience on the 3D display.
      “In addition to retail, Spatial Signage is drawing strong interest from sectors including 3D audiovisual solutions for education in Europe, virtual personal training systems for major fitness chains and augmented reality waiting areas at theme parks in Korea,” said Sun. “Through innovative display solutions, we will continue to build a commercial display ecosystem that only Samsung can deliver.”
      ▲ Spatial Signage unlocks versatile, innovative display experiences. Ultimately, Spatial Signage is not just about making images appear in 3D — it is about creating more immediate, memorable and lifelike experiences in everyday spaces.
      Samsung VXT is sold separately, and solution availability varies by region. The AI Studio app will be available in April 2026 and may incur additional usage fees. ︎ View the full article

      Retail: Display Solutions Designed for Inside and Out
      In retail environments, Samsung’s display solutions are built to perform across different sightlines, lighting conditions and store layouts.
      At the show, Samsung brings this performance to life by showcasing the IBF series LED display in a 142-inch configuration for window-facing applications.
      ▲ The LED display IBF model showcases bright visuals from a window. Designed for highly bright environments, the display reaches 3,500 nits of brightness to deliver clear advertising content to the public while maintaining a clean, visually unobtrusive presence inside the store. The slim 42mm profile and clean-back design showed how the display can blend naturally into open storefronts, while flexible installation options support a wide range of layouts, including flat, L-type, convex, concave and window-facing setups.
      ▲ Two 109-inch IEF screens frame the Samsung booth entrance, stopping attendees with fine-pitch LED brilliance. The new IEF series indoor LED signage takes a different approach, optimized for retail environments where screens are viewed up close and details matter. 
      The IEF signage delivers 600-nit brightness with HDR10+ support, the display produces clear, consistent visuals across both bright and dark content, while Glue-on-Board (GoB) technology adds a protective layer to support long-term performance in high-traffic settings. 
      ▲ Samsung Color E-Paper lineup demonstrates how retailers can deploy low-power digital signage across every point of sale. Samsung Color E-Paper offers an impactful alternative to printed posters in day-to-day retail operations. At ISE 2026, Samsung showed how its 13-inch, 20-inch,1 and 32-inch displays can work together within a single retail environment, using familiar proportions and formats that allow digital signage to sit naturally alongside printed materials and existing displays.
      Across all sizes, Color E-Paper uses ultra-low power digital ink technology, consuming power only when content changes.2 With the dedicated Samsung Color E-Paper app, retail associates can manage local content directly from their mobile devices, reducing the operational burden of frequent reprinting without disrupting the space’s look and feel.
      ▲ Attendees share excitement as the 3D visuals appear to pop out of the 85-inch Spatial Signage. Samsung’s newly launched 85-inch Spatial Signage allows businesses to showcase products in high-traffic retail environments where space and aesthetics are equally important. With its patented 3D Plate Technology, Spatial Signage can display products and content in full 360-degree rotation, giving visitors a clear view of products from all angles.
      ▲ Visitors experience the impact of 3D visuals with the 32-inch Spatial Signage. Smaller 55-inch and 32-inch formats arriving later this year will extend immersive 3D capability to smaller displays and department-level retail environments. 
      At ISE 2026, Samsung Spatial Signage received broad industry recognition, earning honors across multiple categories including:
      Best of Show Awards from Future AV Technology: Samsung Spatial Signage Digital Signage: Samsung Spatial Signage Installation: Samsung Spatial Signage Digital Signage Award from Sector Projects Plus Limited and Sixteen:Nine Innovation in Display Technology Inavation Award for Technology from Inavate Magazine Technology for Digital Signage Top New Technologies (TNT) Awards from Commercial Integrator Digital Signage (Hardware) These honors reflect a strong industry response to its immersive design and practical application across retail environments.
      ▲ VXT’s AI Studio can turn static images into signage-ready video content with the click of a button. Designed to support a wide range of signage formats, Samsung VXT helps retailers to create, update and distribute content across multiple screens from a single system.
      Within Samsung VXT, AI Studio app3 enables teams to turn static images into signage-ready video content optimized for use across Samsung’s commercial display portfolio. Also, if you choose ‘Spatial Signage Optimization’ option, content created through VXT’s AI Studio App is automatically optimized with refined shadow detailing, adjusted margins and background treatments — creating more realistic and balanced visuals for Spatial Signage.
      This approach was recognized at ISE 2026, where Samsung VXT’s AI Studio app received a Best of Show Award from Future in the Installation category.
