My biggest fear about pervasive computing is that the world will become one giant space for intrusive banner and pop-up ads! Hopefully this will not be the case, since Pervasive Advertising is now a topic of scholarly interest:
"Pervasive Advertising Workshop: Building a community to forecast and create the upcoming era of advertising in pervasive information environments". (pdf)
Info from the Pervasive Advertising Website:"The workshop seeks to bring together researchers, developers, practitioners and students from academia and industry who are concerned with envisioning, creating, and implementing future advertising systems. The workshop will provide a venue to present novel research in this field and to discuss ideas and problems on the topic." Primary Topics- Digital Signage Advertising
- Mobile Advertising
- Location and context-based advertising
- Tracking technologies for advertising (GPS, RFID, GSM, Bluetooth, sensors, vision)
- Techniques for assessing sensor data
- Advertising in electronic news papers and e-books
- Assessing the effectiveness of advertisements in the real world (e.g. counting impressions, audience measurement, see-to-buy ratio, scan-to-buy ratio etc.)
- Mixing content with advertisement
- New pervasive computing technologies that are applicable to advertising
- Dealing with limited attention (SPAM prevention in the real world)
- Privacy and pervasive advertisements
Additional Topics: - What creates attraction and what pulls attention?
- Use cases and experience reports of pervasive advertisement
- Social impact of new technologies for advertisement
- Business models and ownership models for future advertising systems
- Integration of social networks with pervasive advertising
- New context-sensitive advertising spaces (e.g. clothes, accessories, cars, etc.)
- Experience with deployment of new advertising systems (e.g. lack of attention)
- Coupling private displays with public displays for split content display. i.e. Generic advert elements in public for all to see with personalized/private elements remaining in ones private device.
- Interactive surfaces as a means to get active engagement with advertising, moving from a passive viewing experience to an interactive everywhere experience.
