Kraft Foods Inc. rolled out in Chicago a device that dispenses its mousse-like Temptations dessert by Jell-O, but only to the product's target market: grown-ups, according to USA Today. The machine, developed by Intel, can detect facial age with a special camera that scans your face and determines if you're an adult or a kid. If the machine detects a child, it shuts down and asks the child to step away. If it detects an adult — bingo — the sample can be dispensed. For the full story, click here.
Editor’s Insight: Much of the capability of this machine also exists in the Kraft Diji Touch machine, which is supposed to be available to the vending industry some time in 2012.
Based on the results of this new machine, called the "iSample Experience," some of the new capabilities could eventually be incorporated into the Diji Touch. 12-15-11 By Elliot Maras
