I've always wondered about that scene: does everyone around him see him in the ads as well? If so, that would mean that they're appropriating his image to sell to others. Perhaps they're laser / audio projections, so each person only sees their own ad.

Or worse: he needed to consent to a TC that allows they do use his image if he wanted to enter the shopping.

So do I. Either people in the Minority Report world are immune to all that constant visual and audio noise thrown at them, and everyone hears every slogan along with names. Or these ads are somehow personalized and isolated voice (while portrayed as an unified mess) reaches particular person based on their movement in the public space.

Phased array speakers can focus sound in a specific direction. The visuals I don't have a good answer for but the sound part could definitely be done with existing technology

If you take a listen to the linked video, you'll hear other names than his.

There are already displays that do this, no lasers necessary. I forget the name for them though… maybe a type of lenticular display?
Cool use case: personalizing wayfinding signage e.g. in an airport
Bad use case: most of the rest of them
