cdaveIdeas seen first in science fiction, sneaking into the real world. Number one (in a series of one probably).
Face scanners to spot truanting kids. 2009.
Seen in Little Brother by Cory Doctorow. 2008.
{edit: If these systems work by measuring pupillary distance, could you fool them by going cross eyed?}

Date: 2009-01-15 01:54 pm (UTC)At my school there were typically about 30 kids per tutor group, with 15 mins for morning registration.
That seems to make about 37 teachers that can be replaced by about 6 machines. Since teachers are also fooled by you going cross eyed, and don't do anything in that time apart from role call. </sarcasm>
