We investigate three central dimensions: energy sources, display technologies, and wireless communications. Based on the power implications from our analysis, we present a thin, wireless, photovoltaic-powered display that is quick and easy to deploy and capable of indefinite operation in indoor lighting conditions. The display uses a low-resolution e-paper architecture, which is 35 times more energy-efficient than smaller-sized high-resolution displays. We present a detailed analysis on power consumption, photovoltaic energy harvesting performance, and a detailed comparison to other display-drivingĀ  architectures. Depending on the ambient lighting, the display can trigger an update every 1 - 25 minutes and communicate to a PC or smartphone via Bluetooth Low-Energy.}, publisher = {ACM}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/exploring-design-space-energy-harvesting-situated-displays/}, }
