A pair of entrepreneurs who were inspired by the film Minority Report have signed a deal to roll out their futuristic billboard technology across Europe.

Abdul Alim and Shaz Mughal launched Bidooh in 2014 after watching computerised billboards adjust and personalise content for Tom Cruise’s character in the 2002 sci- film.

Taking inspiration from Hollywood, the Manchester-based pair then spent 18 months of their spare time "locked away in their garage, building what they believe to be the worlds first dynamically changing personalised billboard screen."

They created technology that uses facial recognition cameras within billboards to identify characteristics from passersby, such as their age or gender. It then uses that information to tailor adverts.

Bidooh already has 16 test screens in place in the in Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale and Nottingham, and plans further expansions in the Midlands in the final quarter of this year.

On Monday, the company announced that it had secured contracts with two partners in the Czech Republic and Romania to introduce its billboard platform to 300 screens installed in Eastern Europe.

It aims to integrate its technology in 3,000 screens across Eastern and Central Europe within three years.
