Commuters on
the Moscow metro will be able to pay for their journeys at a glance with the
introduction of the world’s most extensive facial recognition system for
payments today, despite concerns about the “Orwellian” surveillance tools being
deployed in the Russian capital. The
system, named Face Pay, allows users to look into a camera at special entrance
turnstiles fitted in the metro’s 241 stations, instead of tapping in with a
bank or metro card.
