Microservices-based architecture for an Open Pervasive Display

The LCD prices keep declining year by year. This leads to the increasing number of public display. While currently it is commonly used as an advertising medium, a public display could emerge as the next communication medium of the 21st century. It could happen if the public display, transform it system for currently closed content to more open content that allows third party content. It could also become a platform for the next innovative application. Much like what happened with the mobile phone when they transform from vendor lock-in system to a much more of an application platform. That vision is called Open Pervasive Display. Here we propose an architecture for that vision based on microservices architecture approach. We hope that the extensibility feature of microservices could push forward the development of Open Pervasive Display implementation.
