China Unveils World's First Facial Recognition ATM

Posted by timothy on from the dystopian-possibilities dept.

An anonymous reader links to an article at IB Times according to which: China has unveiled the world's first facial recognition ATM, which will not allow users to withdraw cash unless their face matches their IDs. The machine was created by Tsinghua University and Hangzhou-based technology company Tzekwan. It has a camera installed in it that captures the facial features of the user then compares it with a database of identification photos.

    I suspect that the ATM won't recognize your personally unless you have your mouth open and your eyes closed.
