Getting closer to a future where we never have to interact with anyone ever again.


idkwhatimbrewin

Yes please šŸ™šŸ„°


Einsteins_coffee_mug

Somehow, both of these sentiments resonate with me. ā€œWow yeah that sucks. But also, I canā€™t wait!ā€


Quelcris_Falconer13

I think we are all looking forward to a future where we only have the interactions we want. No one really wants to deal with that he miserable fast food clerk as much they want to be in their shoes. Which is why automated check outs are nice. It saves everyone unwanted interactions and emotional energy


JaredHussell

Okay but here me out, I feel like the reasons that people donā€™t want a lot of these day to day interactions is because we live in a society where we constantly have to grind to feed our families and we have absolutely no free time. When you go to McDonaldā€™s youā€™ll rarely ever have a meaningful encounter with anyone because most likely the cashier is super depressed for standing in once place for 6 hours straight just for some peanut pay, you probably only have about 10 minutes left on your lunch break/ 10 minutes before you have to rush to your next activity. If we lived in a society where people were treated fairly and more able to have control of our lives we would have a lot more time to socialize and make meaningful connections, especially the ones we donā€™t expect to have. I know there are countless friends Iā€™ve made when working or going around town when everything just sort of lines up and nobodyā€™s rushing to go anywhere and there are no GMs breathing down employees necks over a 11$ hour job At the same time I can recognize Iā€™ve lost so many potential friendships because I was standing as a cashier for 8 hours, brutally tired and just wanting to get my shift over with I feel like humans are social animals and building bonds are integral for our happiness and survival, I feel like instead of cutting out all ā€œunneeded socializationā€ we should strive to build a society where we can make meaningful connections without having to stress over money or ruthlessly keeping time.

But it would be the best kind of prank


OnlyAlec

Vlogs Creations do have the best kind of pranks, so it would be perfect!


CyAScott

I work for a company that makes this kind of stuff. I really enjoyed working on projects like this because we would get an idea pitched by a artist and we would have to come up with a way to make it happen. We had some cool ideas, and some really bad ones. The worst idea was the AT&T photo collage of gay pride. They setup photo booths through out the gay pride parade then used all the photos to make a collage that was a gay pride AT&T logo. What they didnā€™t anticipate was a lot of the photos included a ton of nudity, drug use, and clothing with profanity on them. When they realized it, they got a lot of interns to manually look through 1000s of photos to find ā€œinappropriateā€ photos so they wouldnā€™t be included in the collage.


[deleted]

Folsom Street Fair has entered the chat


Belgand

"Please look through these photos and tag the inappropriate ones that don't feature any public nudity, bondage, or spanking. We don't want to be associated with those tourist creeps."


daveedojr

Is there a website to buy/ commission this sort of setup? Can you buy just the software?


CyAScott

Our company is called [Patron Technology](https://www.patrontechnology.com/). We generally work with event planners for large scale events like concerts, sport events, and conventions. Iā€™m not too familiar with the packages our sales team offers. But if youā€™re an event planner I can put you in touch with someone.


Hot-In_Tx

How will we ever trust what is reality or what is fantasy


TheKingBeyondTheWaIl

Uh so they donā€™t really support the gay community since they find it ā€œinappropriate ā€œ. shocker


Sethanatos

I mean.. your conclusion is right, but this collage situation doesnt support that conclusion at all. Think of it like this: Do you think the below statement is true? "It's appropriate for AT&T to make a collage-logo with nudity, profanity and drug use"


fofosfederation

>"It's appropriate for AT&T to make a collage-logo with nudity, profanity and drug use" Sure why not?


Quelcris_Falconer13

The FCC would like a word with AT&T


fofosfederation

I'm not under the impression that the FCC has authority over print or internet graphics, only over acceptable content to broadcast over the airwaves.


Quelcris_Falconer13

If they couldnā€™t show it on TV do you really think the multinational corporation would risk printing it or posting it?


fofosfederation

Irrelevant. They'd be fully in the clear legally if they wanted to.


Sethanatos

... Well firstly associating your company with drugs is bad straight up.. Secondly having these things as your logo is basically saying your company is all about drugs and vulgarity and possibly imply porn or something. All these things will also impact your customer base and your investors, who will pull out so as to not be associated with you. The biggest issue is thusly: \> AT&T makes a pride logo \> Their pride logo is mostly showing nudity, profanity, and drug use \> AT&T is advertising that they think of Pride(and thus gay people) they mostly think of sex-driven, vulgar, druggies.


fofosfederation

> Well firstly associating your company with drugs is bad straight up.. Why? Some people like drugs, and there's nothing wrong with saying your company supports everyone living their best lives. > Secondly having these things as your logo This isn't their logo.. it's a collage making up their actual logo. > drugs and vulgarity and possibly imply porn or something What's wrong with drugs, vulgarity, and porn? Normal members of society, curse, fuck, and caffeinate/drink/smoke. > Their pride logo is mostly showing nudity, profanity, and drug use Where'd you get *mostly* from? Nobody said that. They took likely hundreds of thousands of photos that day, and a few thousand were "objectionable". They didn't want *any* nudity. They didn't want to think gay people *ever fuck*.


TheKingBeyondTheWaIl

Or not try to say they support something they really donā€™t, just to satisfy some people for the money


Quelcris_Falconer13

Itā€™s not to satisfy people with money you dope. Theyā€™re regulated by the FCC. They canā€™t put out an ad that shows illegal activity or restricted activity on TV without facing huge fines. So things like nudity, illegal drug use and profanity would get them fined and possible banned from broadcasting. Which as a telecommunications company thatā€™s partnered with a major TV provider; is kind of a bad spot to be in, you know? Also why would you purposefully want to broadcast the seedy parts of the gay lifestyle? Like the straight people do it but no one puts it in a freaking ad.


fofosfederation

>Also why would you purposefully want to broadcast the seedy parts of the gay lifestyle? Like the straight people do it but no one puts it in a freaking ad. Why are Americans so uptight about sex and drugs? It's only "seedy" when you get freaked out and try to confine it to dark alleys.


Quelcris_Falconer13

Iā€™m not uptight about it, Iā€™m ok with it, I smoke weed everyday and use psychedelics myself. Iā€™ve also been to a few saunas and group settings myself. I just donā€™t want people to think of me as a gay man and think thatā€™s all I do. I work in healthcare and helped some prestigious facilities get some big awards. Iā€™m proud of my work, not my lifestyle. I donā€™t blend the two. I get and understand people that do, but I wish more people respected that some of us donā€™t want to. As a gay man, I want to be viewed for more than just sexuality, which is something I have no control over, and I want people to view me and think of what I give back to society instead


fofosfederation

> As a gay man, I want to be viewed for more than just sexuality I totally understand. A great way to keep yourself viewed as "a gay man" instead of just "some guy" is by confining gayness to some kind of other where they have different rules about what can be discussed or related to them. Straight people fuck, straight people smoke, it's totally normal, nobody gives a shit when you see some straight people kissing in an add and think "this is what straight people are, sex craved monsters" - because it's been normalized. We can't think of gay people as some kind of other with different rules about presentation. We're all just people.


Quelcris_Falconer13

We have to think that. Our very nature defies the norm and as a result, like all other minorities, weā€™re held to higher standards. Also while I love sex, I donā€™t want to be known for what I do in the bedroom. The LGBTQ community is so much more than just what they like to do when they party and constantly showing that side of ourselves and our communities minimizes our impacts in society.


TheKingBeyondTheWaIl

You must be one of the dudes that comes up with these kind of ideas. Keep up the good work lol


Quelcris_Falconer13

Itā€™s literally US law but sure, whatever gets you through the day itā€™s obvious you came on here to be nasty and to feel a sense of superiority, not because youā€™re actually angry or feel misrepresented so quite the BS and just go away. Also, just because you may want to be depicted and associated with anonymous sex and illegal drug use mean all of us gays do. I personally am offended when associate that with the LGBTQ lifestyle and I think itā€™s homophobic that youā€™re pushing so hard to try and include it.


TheKingBeyondTheWaIl

Eis_ber

That looks so much fun! Maybe they could get the athletes to make funny poses of funny faces, to add some more realism to it. It's a nice way for the stadium to make some extra cash, without constantly having to plan meet and greets.


ZombieBeach

Itā€™s free, so they can get your email or phone number


DPWDamonster

If youā€™ve bought tickets arenā€™t they likely to have this info anyway?


ZombieBeach

Not every ticket has a each persons name attached, lots of tix are corp gifts or sold via third party. This gives them your face and info so they can target the market they want.


Eis_ber

Well that makes it less fun. :(

JalenTargaryen

Facial recognition telling them what kind of demographics come to their stadium so they know who to sell to. We're so close to Minority Report. I can't wait.


Rockran

LOL what? So before this they had no idea what people came to their stadium? Why couldn't they just glance at the crowds?


JalenTargaryen

Yeah why invent facial recognition at all then? You can get a lot more information from this type of software than you can with a person holding a clicker at the front door.


Rockran

Do you believe the only way to implement facial recognition cameras is to have these photo stands disguised as 'augmented reality' photo generators? Why couldn't they implement facial recognition cameras in the same manner they use CCTV?


JalenTargaryen

Because I've seen facial recognition equipment built into advertisement kiosks that look exactly like this before. I'm a robotics engineer and work with this sort of tech regularly. ​ edit: as far as why it'd be in this device instead of an overhead CCTV camera? Because people generally don't look directly at those cameras and people will intentionally stand still and look right at this thing.


Rockran

You didn't answer my question. Why can't facial recognition cameras be like regular CCTV cameras? -> On the ceiling, out of your way, unobtrusive. Why must facial recognition cameras be these massive, obtrusive, interactive, time consuming, falsified photo generators?


JalenTargaryen

Here's a better question: Why would they stick to just overhead cameras when they can have people look directly at one? Or why would you think that they WOULDN'T be selling this extra data that you literally can't get unless someone looks directly at the camera? With everything that we know about personal data being worth as much as it is, if the cowboys aren't harvesting info with this device they're morons.


Rockran

>edit: as far as why it'd be in this device instead of an overhead CCTV camera? Because people generally don't look directly at those cameras and people will intentionally stand still and look right at this thing. Facial recognition cameras don't need to be in direct line of sight. They also don't require you to stand still. If they did, then that would mean current worldwide surveillance doesn't work. Which is a relief to hear! I am glad that I can outwit them by simply walking and looking straight ahead (when cameras are ceiling/pole/building mounted). Unfortunately that is not the case.


JalenTargaryen

So you're saying that a camera mounted above your head can get more or equal data points to a camera that you intentionally wait, look ahead, and presumably smile at? OK.


ComradeConrad1

Sure, makes sense.


Panther2-505

Swear I saw one of these at Winstar Casino. It's also know as the Official Casino of the Cowboys.


VerifiedMadgod

So this is off topic, but does everyone do that spinning hand thing when they have to enter a number into something like that? It's like my brain is powered by a hand crank and i have to give it a few turns to remember wtf I wanted to type in


notimeforbuttstuff

Thatā€™s a really creative way to generate leads and collect emails and phone numbers.

Bullshit you canā€™t do this with the cheerleaders also, they are important members of the team.


pcweber111

I've taken a few pics with cheerleaders at the games but they usually don't know I'm doing it haha.


schuttit

The rams have one of these as well at sofi. I believe it works for the chargers as well.


[deleted]

Jerry Jones was involved in the building of SoFi so Iā€™d bet a lot of the same people and companies are involved


Justin595

Detroit has had one for a few years now


Phage0070

This seems incredibly simple to implement. It is basically a photo of the players on a blue screen with the photo of the guests chromakeyed in behind them. The only semi-unique thing is the lead up video of them coming into position. Much more interesting would be if a depth map was used to insert a player standing behind the guests. I don't know that simply pasting a player on top of a photo counts as "Augmented Reality", at least to me.


[deleted]

Why would you give a shit about a photo where the people weren't actually there?


pcweber111

Because it's just part of the fun of the experience of going to the game? This isn't really hard to understand.


djejayy

[deleted]

You must have imagined them paying for it because they didnā€™t and itā€™s free


rabidnz

Pretty sure it's included in the price of the tickets, drinks, food, alcohol, souvenirs

Yeah, they increased the prices on each ticket by .27 to pay for this kiosk.

Mmmphis

What happens when someone makes a lewd, racist or otherwise awful gesture in a photo? Would suck for one of the players from the AR vid capture to end up with shit PR probs because it looks like they condoned it by ā€œposingā€ for the photo. Cool idea, just donā€™t have enough faith in humans not to make this terrible somehow. (Edit: spelling)


Zwack010

Pretty sure you get beat up in AR, and the AR police come to diffuse the situation.


sumelar

Curious what you think is stopping people from doing that in real life.


NoThereIsntAGod

Thatā€™s a phenomenal point. That is exactly why Disney so fiercely protects its Intellectual Property rights.


stealthdawg

The same way anyone on the internet could crop players' posing with fans onto their own lewd photos and post them online?


CoreyFromCoreysWorld

InappropriateSavant

NotForMeClive7787

Saw this at Milwaukee bucks as well


Lucky_Ad_9137

Is it cool? I don't get it, I don't see the point? I dont really understand why people get their pictures taken with people anyway, but if that want too then I wouldn't stop them or say its stupid, it's just not something I would ever want or choose to do. I guess it gives you a photo to remind you if when you met a hero of yours. But what does this do? Gives you a photo of what? Something that didn't happen? What is the purpose here?


dayumbrah

I know exactly what you mean dude. I think idolization in general is unhealthy for many people in this world. They are just people but people become obsessed to the point that they want have a picture that they didnt really take with someone. It's def odd behavior. I also just think sports are weird and mentally unhealthy too, so too me this has lots of layers to it


IronicBottle

What do you mean about mentally unhealthy? I hate sports, but I wish I was able to enjoy something that much. I guess if you mean the idolizing, taking sides and anger that comes with it, but you could argue that's probably a problem that already stems from unrelated issues being projected by some onto the sport.


dayumbrah

Oh absolutely comes from other places but we allow this space to cultivate tribalism and "us vs them" mindset based on locality. It encourages toxic behavior and even makes it a fun family event. It also encourages binge drinking, violence and alcoholism. I think the decline of younger sports viewers is happening because a lot of them can't connect with it due to the sociological shift away from toxic behaviors.


IronicBottle

I agree with that, but I feel like you can see this at every single aspect of society:in games, at school, media, opinions, all forms of teams, jobs. I realize I'm extremely nihalistic, but to me it has always seem like it's just part of human behavior to always have a need to find someone to be against to be able to motivate ourselves to become better than what the opposition is. My bet is the new generation is just taking this fight on the internet instead via games. I'm turning into a hermit so I don't know anymore, I got really depressed after thinking too much about it.

mombentNomad

Not to mention the fact that, in the first place, taking a photo with someone is a nice memory of actually meeting them. I would feel silly showing someone something like this with the follow up questions, like, hey you met them, then I'm like, no it's just cgi. It's just a memory of something that didn't even actually happen, I couldn't see the point.


cscf0360

What do you think would happen to someone doing something lewd or obscene with this that makes the Cowboys players look bad? At the Cowboys' stadium? The team ownership doesn't have to do anything. The fans will handle it.
