In th early 2000s we examined the use of Webcams to understand and analyze consumer behavior. Attracted by their broad and serendipitous use, we thought of building a camera network that would help us understand shoppers in retail. Shoppers in the wild. Eventually we shelved the idea, realizing that there were serious privacy issues. I still do like the concept. Security and information delivery applications continue to explode.
Companies like Videomining are doing what we hoped to do then, building libraries and analyses of comparative consumer behavior. This article gives a good update of what is going on today with webcams.
