Cold Banana Launches eva Visitor Analytics for Trade Shows
The camera-based service measures anonymous visitor traffic and engagement at exhibition stands without recording footage.
Updated on Nov. 6, 2026 in Robotics
Cold Banana has introduced eva, a managed camera-based visitor analytics service for exhibition stands. The service measures anonymous passer-by traffic, stand entries, dwell time and engagement.
Why it matters
Exhibitors and event organisers gain measurable insight into stand performance while visitors are not identified. The service's privacy design, with live analysis and no stored footage, addresses data-protection concerns in event measurement.
eva analyses footage live at the event and never uploads video to the cloud or archives recordings. The service is delivered as a quote-based managed service, and no accuracy figures or hardware specifications were disclosed.
The players
Cold Banana
Cold Banana is a technology company with offices in Dubai and Bournemouth, UK, which developed the eva visitor analytics service.
The details
eva is designed for exhibitors' marketing and event teams, stand builders, experiential agencies and event organisers. Cameras are placed within stand structures and existing cameras can be used where angle, resolution and connectivity allow.
Timeline
Cold Banana introduced eva on November 6, 2026.
Trials of eva in Dubai are planned over the coming month.
The Tech Race
eva extends camera-based footfall measurement, long used in retail stores, into temporary exhibition halls. Its live-analysis, no-storage design positions it as a privacy-oriented alternative to conventional video analytics.
Exhibitors can gather stand traffic and engagement data without staff manually counting visitors. Attendees are not identified, and no footage is kept after the event.
The takeaway
Event teams evaluating stand performance can ask vendors how footage is processed and whether any recordings are retained. Privacy design is becoming a practical selection criterion for visitor analytics.
What happens next
Trials of eva are planned in Dubai over the coming month, with results expected to indicate early performance in a live exhibition setting.
