So do you want to hear how Droid will announce itself to the public on Black Friday? Guess what! According to Google Official Blog
On Black Friday, Times Square’s gigantic interactive search-by-voice demo will be running for 20 hours straight. So if you’re in the area and have a chance to take a break from your shopping, or if you want to see your next shopping destination displayed on a Google map on the huge signs, give the demo a try and let us know what you think. And for those of you that aren’t in Manhattan on that day, you can still watch the action via webcam.
Anyone can call 888-376-4336 and say the name of a business or a location that they want to search for, like “museum of modern art” or “pizza”. Then, the query and local search results from Google will appear on one of the two electronic billboards. This is all part of Verizon’s “Droid Does” campaign and has been developed in partnership with Reuters and R/GA, a digital advertising agency.
OMG, Google is really starting to make our lives like the ones you see in “terminator” via their DROID creations.
Robotic as it may seems, Google Voice Search will give you the ability to search for a particular product, let’s say “Toothie frootie shampoo” and behold! it will be projected to the two BIG Reuters sign and NASDAQ sign. Don’t know how big these signs are? Take a look!
The NASDAQ Billboard
The Reuters Sign
Speaking of insane promotion. I wonder what if you search for an “alien space craft”, will the system still projects your query to the big screen?
If yes, then it will be the coolest promotion I have ever seen with the Droid Kind.
If not, then BOO! Don’t be so kill joy :D
