The talking window

The idea of the Talking Window is that ads will be transmitted to people’s head directly. People who lean their heads against the window of trains will be able to hear ads playing through vibrations in the window.  These ads will not disturb the rest of the other passengers and are only audible when you lean on the glass. The technology is called “Bond Conduction Technology” and it involves transmitting sound to the inner ear through the method of passing vibrations through the skull.

Talking Window ad Campaign (It’s from Germany’s BBDO for pay TV company Sky Deutschland):  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azwL5eoE5aI


This is a completely unexplored medium for advertising. However, it could prove to be more annoying than effective. Who wants some random ads played in your head while you just want to rest after work in a bus??
