A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Wasn't there some sort of concept tech for an airport, where cameras detect and recognize you, and then ensures that any screen that you can see will have the list that has your flight on it? Moreover, the thing about this tech is that the same screen can show different lists simultaneously for different people, simply based on their position and the angle at which they view the screen, if I remember correctly.
Now imagine that for public advertisements.
delete this comment before a CEO reads it
I know that at least in China (and I think a few airports in the US) have screens you stand in front of and immediately show your flight information by scanning your face.
So the technology is not that far off really.
Maybe we should delete the CEOs instead
also a viable option
This actually sounds really cool and I hate that the only way that this will get used is for advertisements...
I was just thinking that. By the way, the technology is called parallel reality. It's actually kind of cool, but would 100% be used to target ads.
"Find me a usecase where we can slowly make the public used to this"
targeted personalised ads but IRL!?
They have this as a demo at DTW airport where you scan your boarding pass, and it displays on the massive main screen entering the terminal "Welcome (Your Name)" with your flight information, but only you can see. I don't remember the maximum number of people who can use it independently, but It's insanely cool technology nonetheless. I really hate the reality that it'll probably only be used for personalized advertising though...
.
"Ok, I'm gonna buy it, surely the adds will stop now."
Adds intensify
They're called "adds" because of the value they add to your life
Well akchtually... I'm stopping here
So we all forgot the premise of "They Live" and are having to learn in again huh?
CONSUME
I have noticed this sort of thing far too many times to ignore it.
Ad fingerprinting is extremely effective.
I have never noticed that because I never see ads on any of my devices
I've got ads and tracking pretty tamped down on my own devices, but it's honestly terrifying how often when I hang out with friends who have non-FOSS phones or Windows running in the room that Amazon is later trying to sell me the topics of the conversations we were having. And it's really hard to have a conversation with someone who isn't as sensitive to this, to tell them that their devices and software are compromising my privacy, and to get them to understand that as the consent issue it truly is.
I have ads managed very well on my personal devices. I looked up camping stuff once on my work computer, and that is all I get on there now. Like, that's all they have on me, so that's what im going to get forever.
How naive to believe they would only be projected onto solid surfaces.
