We conducted this research in collaboration with Kinetic Worldwide. The objective was to provide a greater understanding of consumer behaviour within the mall environment and shoppers’ interaction with digital media. We wanted to understand how mood differed throughout the day and week; how animated and static content could best be used in the mall environment and how often and for how long shoppers looked at the digital advertising screen.
Cutting-edge face-tracking technology from Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute - inventors of the revolutionary MP3 audio format – was employed to track contacts with advertising displayed at Westfield Royal Victoria Place shopping mall, Tunbridge Wells and Westfield Merry Hill, Dudley.
A HD camera, connected to the face-tracking software, was placed on a Clear Channel digital advertising unit during the research period. This provided data on contact duration; age, gender and mood (happy, sad, impassive and alert). The research also featured a separate footfall measure of shoppers and face-to-face interviews.
