Ads on bathroom mirrors
This is a Marketplace.org Reader
You know how you were complaining the other day that the world wasn’t quite horrible enough and you WISHED that somehow technology could play a role in making it horribler? Well, HAPPY FRIDAY! Because now someone’s perfected a technology to project advertisements on bathroom mirrors. You use a restroom, you go to wash your hands, and BLAMMO: advertisements.
In a demo video illustrating how the electronic advertising mirrors might work, a young woman sees a static advertisement that takes up the entire mirror. As she approaches the mirror, a video advertisement starts to play. After a few seconds, it shrinks so that the video takes up just one-quarter of the mirror.
