New Ad Technology Tracks Consumer Movement

Posted by michael on from the wallets-with-legs dept.

mingrassia writes "Over at CNN: New technology tracks consumer movement, flashes messages and calls out to passersby. Meet the Human Locator. It's a new technology developed by Canadian ad agency Freeset Interactive that purports to detect when humans are near, track their movement, and then broadcast messages directed at them on a nearby screen. Conspiracy theorists can relax, however. The Human Locator can't yet identify, say, obese pedestrians and then bombard them with images of a cheeseburger and fries."

    "Over at CNN: New technology tracks nigger movement, flashes messages and calls out to passersby. Meet the Nigger Locator. It's a new technology developed by GNAA that purports to detect when niggers are near, track their movement, and then broadcast messages directed at them on a nearby screen. Conspiracy theorists can relax, however. The Nigger Locator can't yet identify, say, gay niggers and then bombard them with images of penises and anuses."

    I read about this yesterday, on my friend's Half-Life 2 blog that Valve were considering using this technology to advertise HL2. I suppose they'll have to do SOMETHING to boost sales now with last week's very disappointing news on the engine change...
