This is facial recognition brought to a whole new level of CREEPY

Really disturbing and shocking stuff. Damn


Chinese school uses facial recognition to monitor student attention in class

snip

The computer will pick up seven different emotions, including neutral, happy, sad, disappointed, angry, scared and surprised.

If it concludes that the student is distracted with other thoughts during the class, it will send a notification to the teacher to take action.

Many Chinese have grown accustomed to their privacy being infringed by the government and corporations, but people have been expressing horror about the new system on Chinese social media.

"If I was still at school, I would not be able to concentrate on anything but that watching eye!" said one comment on Sina Weibo, China's version of Twitter.

1. That's weak

If they were really evil, they would just bypass the teacher and wire an electric shock into the student's chairs.

2. Imagne the likes of Trump using this to scan crowds. nt

3. I'm sure it's just a matter of time. Takes awhile to run all those wires.

Step at a time.

If this were in place while I was in school, I'd be screwed. In grade school I was an expert observer on the motion of the second hand going round the clock (back in the analog days).

5. Probably here next. They put a bunch of cameras in one school

That would let them track a kid over time, presumably to identify shooters ?
Give it time; it will be here too.
