The Screens HowTo project is a sandbox for demoing the full spectrum of capabilities of AEM Screens in the context of the AEM platform. It focuses on customer use-cases that can be covered with out-of-the-box features or minimal development, and that go beyond the simple image slideshow to integrate for the rest of the platform features.
The audience for this project is mainly product managers, solutions consultants and sales teams.
