When you enter your local Walmart, keep an eye out for the visible part of the latest technology the retail chain has been installing near their doors and throughout the store.
Paging: George Orwell. Mr. Orwell, you there?
High-tech facial recognition cameras are installed eye level near the entry-ways of their new store fronts, but it’s the software behind these anonymous plastic half-globes that is raising concerns (see the video on the following page). Understand, that it isn’t about having anything to hide, these cameras set new a precedent for both personal and business use. These cameras are able to cross-reference your image with online social media networks to match a name with the face, they can learn a great deal more and may be able to track lot of data points. How much the system can record and track is unknown, but in the video on the next page you can see that it not only tracks faces, but can categorize objects and motion:
There preparing to make the switch to employee free stores. I’ll bet on it . Shop at your local small store’s and shop’s . They may not have everything you are looking for but in time as they see the need they will.also money spent locally staying local
Hell I don’t like Wally world anyway
Won’t work on BIRKAS…
Why?
Only the people doing something they are not supposed to do would care or be upset the rest of us would feel better!
Or in our area the more deralik people and possibly ones wanted for something are probably the more frequent shoppers
I’m glad I don’t shop at walmart.
I could care, if you’ve done nothing wrong, it doesn’t matter.
Facial recognition cameras, not a good thing now they are intruding. I found there are places thatvall the same products some cheaper and without this c**p, to follow me around. I say boycott them.
What I’m trying to describe is on the interstate highways… no street lights involved at all. There’s nothing around them like other signs or lights or anything. It’s just a solar powered canister on top of a 10 ft pole with a antenna sticking out of the top like the old school Cellular antennas we used to have to have in our cars when cell phones first started . it’s a short antenna with a curly bottom on it sticking out of a thermos like size container. And that’s it, nothing else. I’m going to have to take a road trip tomorrow to see if I can get a picture. It’s probably some sort of play reader but like I said I don’t know what it is but it doesn’t have anything to do with traffic signals or street signs or anything else
