たくさん笑った人はたくさん払うという仕組み。
一理あるが、もうひとひねりないと、コメディクラブに行くのだけれども笑いの我慢大会でもあるというような。
最近のデジカメでもあるように笑顔を画像により認識することで笑いの回数を数えるというもの。

Comedy club charges per laugh with facial recognition
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-29551380
A comedy club in Barcelona is experimenting with charging users per laugh, using facial-recognition technology to track how much they enjoyed the show.
The software is installed on tablets attached to the back of each seat at the Teatreneu club.
Each laugh is charged at 0.30 euros (23p) with a cap of 24 euros (£18). Takings are up so far.
The project was developed to combat falling audience numbers.
Partnering with advertising agency The Cyranos McCann, the experiment was a reaction to increased government taxes on theatre tickets, which in turn led to drastic drops in audience numbers.
The results of the experiment have so far proved positive with overall ticket prices up by 6 euros, according to the theatre.
The system is now being copied in other theatres around Spain.・・・
