3D Technology Used For Advertising Beer

from the aren't-you-thirst-now? dept

Lots of companies have been working on 3D displays lately, but most have been focused on ways they could be useful in work settings. One company, though, seems to be focused on the "after-work" setting, instead. X3D Technologies has created a system for bars that will project a 3D image of a beer up to a meter in front of the screen - in an attempt to entice people into buying themselves a pint. Apparently similar systems are already advertising shampoo bottles in Europe - but you could see why beer might be a bigger seller.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Do your thoughts ever turn into insects?

    How long before this technology turns into the newest form of spam, e.g. an ad for bug spray that has big insects flying out of your head?

      Dorpus comments are rarely helpful but sometimes amusing.
