Our Business
In 2010, Intel Corporation acquired CognoVision – a leader in real-time audience- measurement and retail-intelligence solutions for the advertising, digital signage and Digital out of Home (DooH) industries. Our solutions help measure the effectiveness of in-store marketing and understand shopper behavior.

Intel® Audience Impression Metrics Suite (Intel® AIM Suite), our audience-detection software, gathers data on how people view content on in-store digital screens, static signs and product displays. Our technology can determine how many people look at on-screen content and for how long. AIM Suite can also determine the gender and age of viewers so that digital content can be targeted, in real time, for the audience currently in front of the screen. This information can be used to dramatically improve the effectiveness of ad campaigns, increase product sales and boost advertising revenue. AIM Suite helps you determine ROI for both digital signage networks and the content presented, on-screen.
The Intel AIM Suite solution has been specifically designed to be scalable, accurate, and easy to implement on a variety of different media systems. In fact, our Intel AIM Suite technology can be used on a variety of screens, near objects, or in environments that require an understanding of the number of people who look in a specified direction. Practically wherever you need to engage an audience using out-of-home media, Intel can provide the tools you need.
