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.

*sigh* Who's got the lyrics to "Blame Canada"? This seems like an appropriate time...

To hear Human Locator mastermind and Freeset President Bastien Beauchamp tell it, the system can even speak to passersby, beckoning them to come closer to a message screen or begging them not to leave.

Imagine, for instance, walking down the street and passing by a blank wall. Suddenly the image of a car appears. As you pass by, the image shifts as you move. A voice greets you with "hello!" As you start to move away, it says "don't go," as it launches into the latest marketing pitch.

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.

"Maybe in five or 10 years," said Beauchamp


I would be so ****ing scared if I suddenly saw Dubya's face on a blank wall pop up and saying "Vote for me or be killed!" in a happy manner...

Damn, capitalism is scary. It reminds me of that movie Minority Report. Eye-scanning robots and ads directed at you. As if spyware and pop-up ads aren't bad enough. Now the blank wall at the laundry-mat is going to tell me how to get enlarged breasts? I don't have breasts!!!!...........um...sorry.

Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.

Ever see Rollie Pollie Olie? I am convinced that there is a Big Brother-type subliminal message in it. Everything in that show has faces - EVERYTHING! So the characters are being watched ALL THE TIME!! EVERY LITTLE MUNDANE KIDDIE THING THEY DO, BIG BROTHER CAN SEE IT!
