Abstract

Briefly stated, embodiments are directed towards providing a smart sign that utilizes third-party environmental data to modify its displayed content and display settings. The environmental data includes a current position of the sun, the smart sign's position, weather conditions, and positional data of objects that are in proximity of the smart sign. Positional relationships of the sun and the objects relative to the smart sign are determined based on the positional data of the smart sign, the position of the sun, and the position of the proximity objects. A display change condition is generated based on a combination of the third-party weather conditions and the determined positional relationships of the smart sign, the sun, and the objects in the proximity of the smart sign. The displayed content and at least one display setting of the smart sign are modified based on the display change conditions.
