Startup Deploys AI-Enabled Vision to Deliver Clicks to Retail’s ‘Bricks’

Amazon knows exactly how many seconds you pace around their site while shopping for running shoes. But brick-and-mortar retailers stumble when it comes to measuring foot traffic. Motionloft promises to put them in step. The San Francisco startup offers a device that sports a specialized video “super sensor” and NVIDIA Jetson-powered AI for monitoring pedestrian, vehicle and bicycle traffic. It provides brick-and-mortar tracking — similar to online analytics — for these kinds of real-world traffic.
