Residents donning surgical face masks while venturing outside their homes or meeting strangers have found themselves in an unfamiliar conundrum. With their faces half-covered, some are unable to unlock their phones or use mobile payments with their faces.

- so masked people has more privacy... and security.

It’s more than just handset troubles, though. In China, facial recognition is being deployed from train stations and airports to stores and hotels. Some people say they now have trouble entering gated communities protected by facial recognition systems.

To the long list of body features used to identify a person’s identity – fingerprints, palm design, vein architecture, retina signature, facial recognition, voice, heart pulse, and more – we may now add another part of the human anatomy: one’s butt.

....Japanese engineers have designed what they describe as “butt fingerprint.” Associate Professor Shigeomi Koshimizu at the Advanced Institute of Industrial Technology in Tokyo uses a seat pressure map to generate a web of thirty-nine indices which are used to identify a subject’s rear end.

Butt Identification, and Other Awkward Biometrics

Biometrics are everywhere. Fingerprint scanners are a standard feature in the newest smartphones, DNA testing is common, and facial recognition is getting more and more terrifyingly reliable. But there are many biometric applications still lurking on the fringe, and some of them get really...

Laws must be passed in China to prevent people from wearing face masks on their butts. People trying to subvert all-seeing government tracking surveillance could say that they are trying to filter noxious emissions.

The era of giving your ass to unlock your smartphone is coming

About the mask. Masks are currently nearly sold out at many drugstores in Japan. It seems to be the influence of people from China and those who buy in bulk for resale.

I’d rather use my butt than my face, easier to cover when not in use. Like a webcam.
