Face Recognition For Purchasing is Still a Novelty

▤ Summary

A video recently posted to Twitter shows a woman who has walked up to a vending machine press a button on a screen before standing in front of a camera. I suspect the programmers blocked this because face recognition software over multiple nationalities is difficult to implement accurately. On an even crazier note, we also found a video of a women getting toilet paper using face recognition. Amazon’ facial recognition tool Rekognition recommends a 99% accuracy setting for secure areas like building access. Creating a working exploit for this entails hours of work to capture a picture of the victim and creating a moveable face – assuming the facial recognition program verifies movement in the face.
