Innovative Technology has released its automatic age verification offering, ICU, which aims to help sites control access to age-restricted purchases.
“It’s constantly looking for a face and when it detects one it instantly gives you an age estimate. It’s aimed at the kind of sites that are selling products that are age sensitive,” said Amar Akhtar, customer support engineer.
Artificial intelligence applied in biometrics is being widely used in computer science as a form of identification and access control. The camera captures an image of the customer and uses biometric identification to recognise and verify age. It does not store any images or personal data so the compnany assures there are no implications for GDPR reasons and no privacy concerns for the operator.
Horizontal or vertical mounting and simple integration make the ICU suitable for numerous applications including retail self-serve, kiosks and gaming. ICU boasts market leading accuracy through its 3D anti-fraud system and is a standalone device, eliminating the need for expensive hardware, third-party fees and on-going costs.
The company acknowledges that age restrictions for different products and premises vary from country to country. This global product can be easily tailored to meet the age restrictions and specific regulations of any country.
