Developer Viktor Petersson has created a piece of software called Screenly. Screenly allows you to administer a ‘digital sign’ over a web browser, letting you add images, videos and web-pages to be shown on a loop on a screen connected to the Raspberry Pi. Possible usages, according to Viktor are as follows:
- Display business information or server dashboards
- Advertisements (in-store or in store-front)
- Internal information boards
- Fancy photo-frame
More information is available in various places:
- GitHub repository containing the code
- Discussion thread over at the RPi Foundation website
- Viktor’s blog post announcing the software – other blog posts likely to be posted in future
