Digital wayfinding
Digital wayfinding signage you can update from anywhere
Show visitors where to go with directional screens you can change in minutes when rooms move or events start. Design wayfinding boards with AI, schedule them by time and date, and manage every screen remotely.
First 3 screens free. No credit card.
Directional boards from a prompt
Describe the destinations and arrows you need, and the AI Designer lays out three clear, readable options.
Change routes without reprinting
When a department moves or a room changes, edit the board and publish it to every screen that uses it.
Event-day directions on schedule
Schedule event wayfinding for the date and hours it applies, and your regular directory returns afterward.
Clear evacuation messaging
An emergency override supersedes all content on the screens you select until you clear it.
Design directional screens quickly
Good wayfinding is short, high contrast and consistent. Describe what a screen needs, such as "directory for floor two, radiology to the left, labs straight ahead, large arrows", and the AI Designer produces three variations as editable scenes. Keep refining with plain language: "bigger arrows", "make it portrait", "add the floor number". Save a design as a template so every floor follows the same format.
- Three layouts per description
- Portrait designs for freestanding totems
- Save layouts as templates for consistency
- Shapes, arrows, text and images in the editor
Directions that follow the calendar
Buildings change through the week. Use the scheduler to show a standard directory most of the time and event directions when they matter: registration routes for a conference morning, parking guidance on game day, or a different entrance after hours. Date ranges, recurrence and priorities decide what wins, and the regular directory comes back on its own when the event ends.
- Date ranges and recurring schedules
- Promotion priority for event-day directions
- Temporary overrides for closures
- Separate schedules per location or screen group
Scope and what this is not
DigitalSign wayfinding is display signage: clear, scheduled, directional screens that people read as they walk past. It does not provide touch-screen directories or interactive maps. If you already publish a building map on the web, you can show that page in a webpage scene today. Planned data connections, starting with generic JSON, CSV and REST feeds, will let room assignments flow into designs automatically.
- Display-only directional screens
- Webpage scenes for an existing online map
- Data-driven room listings planned
- Works alongside your printed static signs
Manage every sign from one dashboard
Organize screens by building, floor or wing and see each one's status, current content and last heartbeat. A remote screenshot shows what a visitor sees at that sign. Refresh, restart or clear the cache from the dashboard. Each player stores content locally, so directions stay on screen if the building network drops. During an emergency, a single override can replace every selected sign with evacuation guidance.
- Locations, groups and tags
- Remote screenshot, refresh and restart
- Offline cache for network interruptions
- Emergency override across selected screens

FAQ
Wayfinding signage: common questions
What is digital wayfinding signage?
It is a set of screens that show directions and destinations in a building or campus. Unlike printed signs, you can change them from a dashboard when rooms or routes change.
Does DigitalSign support touch-screen directories?
No. DigitalSign wayfinding is display signage that people read in passing. It does not include interactive or touch directories.
Can I show our existing campus map?
Yes, if it is on the web. Add the map page to a scene as a webpage or iframe and schedule it like any other content.
Can wayfinding change for a specific event?
Yes. Schedule event directions for a date range and time window at a higher priority. The regular directory returns automatically afterward.
Can room listings update automatically from our system?
Not yet. Data connections are planned, starting with generic JSON, CSV and REST feeds. Today you edit listings in the editor.
What display should I use for a wayfinding totem?
Any portrait-mounted display that runs a modern browser, or one with an Android or Google TV device connected. Choose a bright, 4K-capable panel for busy concourses.
