Because the one thing desperately needed in this world is even more surveillance?
- goodfight 7y agoThis already happens with bluetooth phones in stores. They simply ping you from an array and can track your movement throughout the store.
- topkai22 7y agoMost retail stores have been heavily surveilled for a long time by cctv for shoplifting purposes. One, perhaps naive, hope I have for edge based technologies is to enable scenarios that are actually more private. In my scenario, if the processing of the video stays at the edge and only anonymized or aggregated information is sent up to the cloud/ larger organization, then is much better then if the video is shipped offsite and processed. It’ll take some interesting legislative efforts to really frame this well, but the Europeans (and the state or Illinois with their facial recognition law?) at least seem to be headed that way.
