Cigarette Machine uses Face-Recognition Software to detect adults!
Wow…. that’s kinda cool if it works without hackers like me hacking it…
The vending machine has an “adult recognition” button, and when this is pressed a tiny camera takes a photo of the customer and analyzes certain features such as wrinkles and sagging around the eyes and mouth as well as the frame of the potential buyer’s body to determine a general age.
In a test with 500 people ranging in age from their teens to their 60s, this software was able to identify adults with 90% accuracy.
Distinguishing teenagers from twenty-somethings is more difficult. So when the software cannot make a judgment call, the customer needs to insert a license to prove their age. If the machine can make a match with the license photo, it will sell cigarettes.
