At Vitensenteret (science center) in Trondheim they have a web cam hooked up to a TV screen where they show a live view of some face scanner software (multiple faces simultaneously). It estimates your gender, age, and mood (happy, sad, angry, surprised).
Every time I've visited it's been quite accurate on me, my friends, and on the other visitors.

They could, but chances are someone is trying, and may succeed soon, in actually doing this.

#7Uh, I got sidetracked and brain hammered by the devolving discussion on that Twitter thread, thus couldn't find the context for this pizza shop kiosk - Is it a customer service portal that attempts to identify the person in front of it to try and match up with an order, or a plain advertising display that is trying to capture the demographics of the people who happen to stop in front of it and look at it?

#8Windows.. TeamViewer.. using the primary screen to display the ad.. and the camera is not even hidden..
Amateurs.
I wouldn't be alarmed by this, they probably don't even now the accuracy of the algorithm they are using or how to interpret the collected data correctly.

It's an ad. May be targeted advertising, or just simple engagement analysis.
