Visitors to the main branch of the Whittier Public Library in Whittier, California, can pass through a digital portal after digital signage was installed, led by SNA Displays.

Audiovisual integrator and experiential technology company Electrosonic has brought a digital experience to the Whittier Public Library with the support of digital display manufacturer SNA Displays and content provider Render Impact, according to a company press release.

After the project's award, Electrosonic brought on SNA Displays, a member of Electrosonic's Technology Partner Program, to manufacture the LED display technology and help with installation.

For this digital signage project, the team selected the 2.5 millimeter Bold Interior LED video technology from SNA Displays. The LED display consists of two dual-sided columns joined overhead at 90-degree angles by the third section of the LED portal. Each floor-to-ceiling column is two-and-a-half-feet wide. The overhead section goes from wall to wall, meaning that visitors are briefly immersed on three sides by LED video technology as they pass from the main library area to the children's section.

"As a manufacturer, SNA Displays can adapt to any setting and bring new life to any interior space," Mikell Senger, senior project manager at SNA Displays, said in the release. "Digital displays in public areas like this are ideal for sparking the imagination and setting the right mood. I'm excited for visitors of the library to experience the new visual technology."

Render Impact created four separate pieces of content: an underwater scene made in the Unreal Engine; creative incorporation of historic images of the city of Whittier; a 3D mid-century modern bookshelf canvas and a nature scene that highlights the library's mascot Leo the Lion.

"The Whittier Library project was an exciting project for several reasons. The non-standard screen format of the LED archway always creates a playful canvas, as seen in the Bookshelves animation. Creating content for both sides of the archway gave us a great opportunity to craft imagery for a broader range of audiences. The longer runtime of the 3D-animated underwater scene allowed us to mix in several small moments for patrons to discover," Dan Maher, production manager at Render Impact, said in the release.
