Attention-Sensing Cameras = Another Reason To Exclusively Shop Online
Philips has applied for a patent that will embed eye scanning technology to track the attention of window shoppers. Once they know what you're drooling over, the window could then provide more detail on the product.
Given the diagram, it appears as though the shopper in question will have to willingly participate in getting face-raped by a bunch of cameras. So even though this reeks of an invasive marketing ploy, maybe you can opt out.
My only question: what if you're staring at the model and not the product? For instance, lasering holes into a model's underwear-wrapped junk and not, in fact, interested in the underwear. Will they provide for me details on the junk?
