Privacy and empathy in the living room
I wrote another piece for The Conversation on Sky, Xbox and Verizon here. Asked to comment on the significance of behavioural advertising on television that utilises the room scanning potential of the Kinect, I linked this to ideas developed in my
forthcoming book Privacy and Philosophy: New Media and Affective Protocol. In the article, I highlight that these developments are getting very close to displaying qualities of empathy, a premise discussed in depth in the book.
