Description
Follow along by reading the original article:
* Title: Japan Deploys Walk-through Facial Recognition Ticket Turnstiles at Train Stations Across the Country
* Sub-Title: Soon, there will be no need to stand in line to buy a train ticket or even use an IC card to get on and off the platform. Just smile for the camera - even if you are wearing a mask!
In a scene straight out of the 1990 movie classic Total Recall, when Arnold Schwarzenegger tries to pass through a turnstile but is caught with a concealed gun, Osaka Metro has nearly completed testing and will soon go live with new walk-through, facial-recognition ticket turnstiles throughout its subway network.
