We know good and well what kind of extravagant displays are available to gawk at in New York City, but now it looks like the locals will have yet another one to check out when they're taking a breather from the rat race. CBS Outdoor has unveiled plans to deliver two solid hours (from 11:30AM to 1:30PM throughout February) of 3D advertising on an expansive, high-definition video screen installed within Grand Central Station. Unlike the glasses-free solution that we spotted at Intel's CES booth this year, this one will still require onlookers to rock those heinous and soul-crushing glasses in order to "see" the "effect," and with around 70,000 commuters passing by each day, we'd guess that the spectacle manufacturer who nabbed this contract is feeling pretty good right about now.
noone's gonna stand around to stare at ad's with 3d glasses on.
That would be Grand Central Terminal, not Station.
Sorry to react but it is a pet peeve.
You're among friends, Hugh... same peeve here.
I believe we're talking about ad space in a train station, not a nearby Post Office. ^__^
Who is going to buy glasses just to watch ads? Furthermore, are people seriously going to carry 3D glasses with them? I think 3D is cool, but until the glasses-free version goes mainstream I don't see it really taking off.
