Chinese School Introduces First Facial Recognition Payments

Description

Students at the No.11 High School in Hangzhou are the first in the world to use facial recognition to pay for food at their cafeteria. Pupils order food on screens and pay for their meals by standing before facial recognition screens. Face data from each student is collected and stored into the school's database. When students order food, the program compares their face to the database and automatically deducts money from their account. Students never have to bring cash or cards with them to school and payment becomes quicker and more efficient, but what do you think about the privacy issues?

Your Dog Loves You. Your Face? Not So Much

Hungarian researchers want to reassure the human companions of dogs that they do care about you. However, they don't particularly care for your face. In fact, CNN reports dogs can't even distinguish the front of your head from the back of it. Instead, dogs use more information from smell or larger parts of the body to identify people. Despite lacking specialized neural machinery to process faces, dogs nevertheless excel at eye contact, following gaze, and reading emotions from faces. The researchers say that as dogs domesticated, they learned that reading facial cues meant survival, even though they lacked a specific region in the brain to do so.
