Comments on: The subway tunnel as video billboard

It's not exactly the drive-in, but tech is taking movielike ads to some deep, dark places. The trick is to go fast.

This isn't news, Chicago's subways have featured tunnel advertisements of this ilk for several years. Macrosoft did a big one for Vista this winter.

well

it might be old news to you but it is not to me. First time hearing about this stuff. Just b/c you're on the "cutting edge" doesn't mean other people are.

I found them on the Beijing subway at the end of January. Several Flickr photos here:

Subway Ads

Have been in Tokyo subway tunnels for years - "animated" LED displays. Remember seeing them for the first time in the late 1990s.

Subway Animation

I saw a subway animation ad in 1972 in Montreal. It was in French and it was about some beverage, maybe wine. I was fascinated by it a the time but I could never find any one who knew about it or even heard about it. Too bad we didn;t have Google back then.
