The Japanese firm, Sagawa Advance, has created a face scanner that can supposedly tell identical twins apart. It works by analyzing 40,000 data point on the face, and then comparing it with a database of faces it knows.
The company plans to sell the technology to power plants, medical factories, and anyone else who needs tight security. It will retail for about $60,000 and they’re looking to move 40 units in the first year.

If its that accurate coulden’t the person getting injured, like a scratch, a black eye, etc, or even possibly not shaving well that day trigger a negative?
I was thinking the same thing… but remember the bones that make up your face never change. So I think not shaving or a cut will not fool it. I think you would need to brake your nose your something. But if that happened I guess your job would make you get a new face scan.
