A Machine That Gives Out Ice Cream if You Smile
Ice cream and smiling kind of goes hand in hand and FREE ice cream gets more smiles than any other kind.
Meet the Unilever ice cream machine that dispenses ice cream in exchange for smiles. That's right, all you have to do is walk up to the machine and flash a grin to collect your free ice cream. The machine uses facial recognition software to measure your smile and if its big enough, you'll get free ice cream and it'll snap a photo of you that you can upload to Facebook thanks to the machine's 3G connection.
Check the video below to see the machine in action.

The machine measures age with +/-7 years certainty.

D:? i don't get ice cream?
?
Thinking of the ice cream would give me a smile
Awesome idea!
In other news, America's obesity dilemma spirals even further out of control.
This is discriminatory towards people who have no teeth
can't some things just remain in sci-fi geekdome?

actually that won't happen because one's face would become so large, the software would not be able to recognize a face
we better go there to get free ice cream before it starts to charge for the 3g and the ice cream. Then it will be worse to get the ice cream since you will have to pay, and that wont make you any happier.
nothing is "FREE" i bet there collecting some kind of information on the people using that machine, but my best guess is optimizing the facial recognition software for further development using ice cream as rewards.
/no conspiracy theories or anything, just a general wonderment.

SHHH, No bursting bubbles of the idea of getting things for free.
Does the ice cream taste like soap?

Agreed you crazy physicists and your no free lunch rule.
cool real cool!!!!!
Happy People = Fat People
I give out my ice cream when girls smile at me.
What if a lot of truly bad things happened to me and I really needed an Ice cream to calm down and forget about my troubles?
Ice cream is supposed to make you happy, not be happy before getting it.
... sophisticated way of surveillance... nobody asks, who gonna be in control of the information about age, gender and pictures, in that are you smiling? And when facebook is involved... ...
If monkey smiles, monkey gets icecream!
This is discriminatory towards people who have no teeth
Or people who, like me, can't really smile.
Still, pretty epic.

Does sound like a mass test system for facial recognition. Regardless, free ice cream!
I love ice cream more than a 5 year old. I would definitely give a nice big smile to have some.
Where's my ICE CREAM? I'm smiling ear to ear.
In Soviet Russia machine smiles, and you give IT ice-cream.
D:? i don't get ice cream? ?
I think that for a smiley, you get an ice-creamey. O> looks like an ice cream cone, yes?
You know I smile after I get the ice cream, usually not before.
Video made me smile.
People with dentures don't get cold headaches or sensitivity to cold on their teeth. Besides, nobody said that you can't pop in a few vampire teeth around Halloween, scare the kids, and eat your ice-cream too. Although sometimes people having no teeth are more scary to me than those wearing plastic fangs. *shudder
The new Google/Microsoft/Apple/Medical Insurance/Government conglomerate-backed software is recording who enjoys chocolate, who prefers vanilla, and who likes theirs with a twist in an effort to use this information to brainwash the global populace and take over the world. Beware.
Does sound like a publicity stunt
