I worked in digital signage advertising (fancy schmancy name for those screens in malls that show ads). Facial recognition was spreading throughout the industry when I was involved a few years ago. The cameras count the number of people in front of the sign, how long they look, and try to guess demographic info (age, gender, race). Everything we hate about online advertising... yeah these people want to make it part of physical life too. Example of what I'm talking about: https://signbox.tv/digital-signage-products/digital-signage-facial-recognition https://signbox.tv/digital-signage-products/digital-signage-...

I would be interested to know how to spot cameras on devices such as these (presumably, they aren’t as obvious as a laptop camera). I checked the link, but didn’t go further than the first page.

  The one I saw was pretty obvious, more like cell phone camera obvious. Most people just don't look up or closely. I imagine as awareness increases you'll see things like remote cameras zoomed in/etc. To be fair the one I saw I only knew had a camera - I assumed it was for facial recognition, but I can't think of any other plausible reason for it.
