Intel and Kraft have developed a digital screen kiosk that will scan a person’s face and suggest products and recipes based on perceived age and gender. While such recognition technology has been around for many years now it’s only recently that brands are starting to think seriously about content applications. If customers swipe their loyalty card the kiosk will also sync recipes with Kraft’s ifood mobile app. The app allows people to add items to their mobile phone based shopping list by scanning product barcodes and has a couponing function.
