Posted May 9, 2017 · Original PosterOP So this caught my eye today.. this felt like the movie Minority Report. There is these billboard ads, which people look at for information. This isn't news... but there is a camera over the billboard and it registers persons looking at the billboard itself. Gives feedback in form of code which is revealed when the software crashed. Identifies someone, registers gender, young or adult, time spent on watching the billboard, their expressions and in this case if they wear glasses or something like that.

Posted May 9, 2017 This is totally badass, and awesome piece of work. But im legit creeped out by something like that. I can see its just gathering what is considered public information but man in a few years its going to be a lot smarter and i wonder if its one of those things that we need laws to regulate it before it really blows up.

It's so they can improve advertisement techniques to certain demographics. Also, they probably sell the data. Technically, it doesn't seem to track any actual personal info. I still think this is super creepy and I'm not even a tinhat kinda guy.

Posted May 9, 2017 Convenient spot to dispose of your chewing gum Awareness is key. Never enough, even in the face of futility. Speak the truth as if you may never get to say it again. This world is full of ugly. Change it they say. The only way is to reveal the ugly. To change the truth you must first acknowledge it. Never pretend it isn't there. Never bend the knee. Please quote my post in your reply, so that I will be notified and can respond to it. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 9, 2017 Once they can ID ppl, the first thing someone should do is set one up around congress and display each congressman's public data. That'll get em to outlaw it in the name of privacy instantly. Better yet, why wait, just fake it. With someone hiding cuing up which person's data to display. That and the camera will get em to pass stronger privacy.

Posted May 10, 2017 If they can do this on a billboard ad, imagine what they could do if they got access to our phone's camera. There's a reason why I open my laptop up and unplug the cable to the webcam. Can't hack it if it's physically disabled. It's also why I'll never have a webcam hooked up to my desktop. I'm not saying someone would or does do that (at least, not to me), I just don't like the idea that someone could do it. https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/449522-smoking-barrels-ltts-unnofficial-gun-club/ Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 10, 2017 Im surprised they are allowed to do this. As the privacy laws in norway, especially regarding identification and live collection of data is extremely strict. TO give you an idea, if you put a video camera up to survey YOUR OWN property, and it can possibly identify people beyond the borders of your property, you can get fined extrordinairy amounts.

Posted May 10, 2017 Well I was at a tech demo from Huawei about 10 month ago and they had a bilboard like this showing ads based on your gender and age. Personalized advertising is also a thing outside of the internet.

Also, what must be CLEARLY STATED, just because you put up signs, have a reason, doesnt save data, data cannot specifically analyze any single private citizen or group when reviewing the code, it STILL requires a permit.
