Kraft has invented a vending machine that analyses your face to predict what you want to eat. It combines facial recognition with other data to give you a snack, or email a recipe and shopping instructions. Creepy or cool?
While you operate the touchscreen on Kraft’s “Meal Planning Solution”, a camera analyses your face to determine your age and gender, the better to anticipate what you want to eat.
Between this and Xbox Kinect, there is a dystopic science fiction waiting to be written, where the world’s most powerful corporations combine forces to spy on us perpetually with motion-sensing cameras, collecting our fingerprints during marathon sessions of Angry Birds.
But for now, let us gurgle with gluttonous glee: Ooohh, look, fancy snacks! It anticipates what I want for dinner, just like mum. [Fast Company]

Here’s a pizza to go with your pizza face! Thank you, come again.

The recipes are red stamped depending on your shopping list. The camera is for the gimmicky bobble head thing.
Nowhere in that video did it mention scanning you for possible foods to eat. :P
