Places have been doing this for years but not with screens. Just like a bulletin board with ads. Even on your table.
Places like that, you don’t go back to unless you have to. In laws couldn’t understand why I didn’t like their favorite pizza place.
Before that people used to write phone numbers on the stall walls advertising things.
How I met my wife.
The difference is most ad systems with screens also have a camera built in to the hardware, because they’re just repackaged tablets.
If I want faceless companies to watch me shit I’d buy meta glasses, but I really really do not want that.
I don't think the videos would turn out. They'd be overexposed.
and now it'll be pile of e waste in a few years. that's progress.
