Mannequins Now Fitted With EyeSee Cameras To Spy On Shoppers

Mannequins in fashion boutiques are now being fitted with secret cameras to 'spy' on shoppers' buying habits.

High Street fashion chains have deployed the dummies equipped with technology adapted from security systems used to identify criminals at airports.

From the outside, the EyeSee dummy looks like any other mannequin, but behind its blank gaze it hides a camera feeding images into facial recognition software that logs the age, gender and race of shoppers.

This information is fed into a computer and is 'aggregated' to offer retailers using the system statistical and contextual information they can use to develop their marketing strategies.

Its makers boast: 'From now on you can know how many people enter the store, record what time there is a greater influx of customers (and which type) and see if some areas risk to be overcrowded.

However, privacy campaigners have denounced the system as 'creepy' and said that such surveillance is an instance of profit trumping privacy.

The device is marketed by Italian mannequin maker Almax and has already spurred shops into adjusting window displays, floor layouts and promotions, Bloomberg reported.

With growth slowing in the luxury goods industry, the technology taps into retailers' desperation to personalize their offers to reach increasingly picky customers.
