New technology will ask people to use their phones in cinemas

Bloomagus It cooperates with the parent company Facebook to “increase and filter” the movie experience. how? By encouraging people to interact with Chatbot, Amnesty International while they are in a theater watching a movie on the big screen. Does this seem like a good idea? no! But this has not stopped Hollywood or great technology before.

On April 9, as I mentioned before diverseThe new Meta launches the new “Movie Mate” technology during a special show on April 30 Megan– The original movie, not its next complement – as part of the Horror Movie BlumhouseIn the middle of the road to the Halloween Film Festival“It will allow a new technology for cinema pioneers using their mobile phones as a” second screen “while watching Megan In the theater. The idea is that people in the theater will be able to use their phones to chat with Megan-AI chatbot, answer the trivial questions, and read the stories behind the scenes.

I don’t care how much of the mutation makes me this: Do not use your phone in a movie theater. If you are concerned about the state of emergency, leave it on the duct and get out of the stage before checking your device. Otherwise, this shit and enjoy two hours in a dark room separated from the nightmare, which is the Internet in 2025.

“The question we always ask ourselves is why it can not be every day on Halloween? So in the middle of the road to Halloween, one step is approaching us, and I was not happy this year at the country level,” Jason Bloom, founder and director of Blumhouse, said in a statement. “The same spirit is from the experience of new things, we are excited to present it Megan Fans are a completely new experience in the theaters of the team in Meta. ”

I find it very funny that Meta and Blumhouse offer this technology as “new” although the second screen experiences are something that companies have tried for more than a decade. Remember Xbox Smartglass? This was an application that you will open on your tablet or phone and then use it while playing games or watching movies on your Xbox One. She had some usesBut it was not really anything that anyone cares about. So Xbox killed her and moved. However, here is a dead person to repeat the concept, while making it more Obtaining those before before craming artificial intelligence and encouraging people to use their phones while they are in the movie theater.

I can only hope that, like most of the new ideas that Big Tech has these days, this film failed calmly and not mentioned again. If not, going to the cinema will get worse, and this would make me really sad.

Oh and talk about MeganComplement to Bonkers. I hope when I watch it at a movie theater later this year, you don’t have to deal with 20 people randomly on their phones all the time.
