Students swipe faces to pay for meals in high school canteen

A Chinese high school has launched a futuristic facial recognition system to allow students and staff to pay for their meals by scanning their faces.

The video, captured in the high school attached to Northwest Normal University on September 3, shows students lining up to scan their faces with a facial recognition machine to pay for their meals.

According to reports, students and teachers have their campus cards connected with the facial recognition system.

This canteen is the first to use the 'face-scanning payment' in Gansu Province and it only takes one second to perform the whole process.
