Learn How CONTXTFUL Leverages Motion Sensors in Real Time

How can we add a layer of quality on the programmatic inventory we buy from publishers without having to invade privacy or use private information? Let us introduce you to CONTXTFUL!

Guillaume Bouchard, CEO of Receptivity explains that they leverage motion sensors found on mobile devices to determine how attentive a user is to their device in real time. This in turn, helps publishers create more profit and help advertisers buy better inventory in an efficient way that strays away from the norm. Bouchard and Bidochka also chat about the future of marketing technologies and the lean towards the attention economy. This is definitely an episode you don't want to miss!

Be prepared to enter the physics rabbit hole! We know we can't create invisibility cloaking devices yet, (sorry to all the Harry Potter fans out there), but we can definitely use MetaMaterials to steer energy in targeted ways that are just not possible with natural materials. 

Bobbi Bidochka sits down with Chris Alliegro, Managing Partner at MetaVC Capital who explains how he is able to create shapes at different spatial dimensions through interference patterns. More specifically, how putting surfaces in front of energy waves that have microscopic structures smaller than the scale of that energy result in MetaMaterials.
