RealSense depth camera in ticket machines

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
This is an ICM Self Check In Kiosk, which features a "passenger feedback camera" and offers "a single token end to end processing experience".
Basically exactly what you think it is, an advanced biometric system for reading your face. I don't think airports have it activated yet, but maybe one day you'll be able to check in without scanning a boarding pass or passport for the low price of your privacy.
I've used one of those before at an airport and it worked exactly as you say. I think it was just for boarding though. I just walked forward and when I got to the front, they greeted me by name and I got on the plane. I don't remember having to show my passport or boarding pass that time either (but it was last year so I may have forgotten).
Since it needs a source to compare against, I'm curious where they captured your face info
