Ford And Intel Testing Facial Recognition For Authentication In Cars

All sorts of cool technology is coming to the cars of future and Ford is now testing another clever integration of technology which might end-up in your next car. Dubbed "Ford Mobil" the company in-collaboration with Intel, is testing a facial-recognition system which will perform "in-car" camera based security authentication and personalization based on driver's preference. The system uses front-facing cameras to capture drivers images and perform the facial-recognition, if the driver can't be authenticated it'll send a photo to the vehicle owner's phone asking for permission for this person to drive the vehicle. This could also be used to allow parents to control how loud their kids listen to the music while driving, how fast they can drive, and even simply monitor them driving. The "Ford Mobile" will also utilize gesture and voice recognition technology to make things even easier to control for users while driving.

This 3D Printer Can Build A 2500 Sq.Ft. Concrete House In 20 Hours

3D Printing is without a doubt the next big thing, there is already a growing market for desktop 3D printers with thousands of good and bad "things to print at home". Paving the way for second industrial revolution, 3D printing is soon going to change how we construct buildings with automated Robotic Construction System's which will allow us to make concrete structures on site - and the best thing is we already have a working concept system ready doing that demoed on video as shared ahead.

"Contour Crafting" - the company behind world's first working "Robotic Construction System" has built a prototype 3D printer which uses concrete to "print" walls and will enable construction of entire structures on site as demoed in the video, this technology is not only cheaper than today's "traditional" counstruction methodolgy but also very faster as this machine can build a 2,500 square feet house in 20 hours.
