DFW wants to bling out with holographic virtual assistants, but I’m thinking most airport passengers want function, not form (16:9)

by Dave Haynes. Airports are by their nature some of the most linguistically diverse places on the planet – especially major hub airports that handle a lot of international flights.

ISE’s 2026 show stats drill deep into who was there and why they made the trip (16:9)

by Dave Haynes. Trade show operators are sometimes a bit cagey about what facts and figures they make available once the events close, but when a show is on a roll, I guess there’s no real concern.

Shopper privacy back yet again in news, but this time there really is a privacy issue (16:9)

by Dave Haynes. Computer vision technology in retail and public spaces has for years been freaking out a subset of consumers for no real reason, but now a popular U.S. grocer has been called out for using that kind of technology in a way that really does raise legitimate privacy issues. […]

The snark is back: Dave Haynes returns to weigh in on digital signage (16:9)

Here, though, is what has struck me these past few months … Selling is getting more targeted.
