2. Airport’s virtual aquarium tunnel for face recognition
Instead of long waiting at security counters or pass through e-gates, virtual fish will scan your face as you walk through the tunnel. The tunnels will be equipped with 80 cameras. The screens can display a simulation of a real-life aquarium, various landscapes or advertising in high quality.
If the traveller is registered successfully, they will see a green sign. If the person had some troubles, a red alert will notify about it.
