Offering a fast, secure and completely contactless solution, the VisionLabs LUNA POS Terminal scans the customer’s face (without saving any facial data) and milliseconds later sends the face template to the payment service provider or bank for identification and authorisation using VisionLabs facial recognition technology. VisionLabs has used its facial recognition technology in payment terminals since 2019, but this is the first time the technology has been incorporated into a device that also supports other payment methods. VisionLabs expects the number of users securing payments via software-based facial recognition to exceed 1.4 billion globally by 2025, up from 671 million in 2020. visionlabs.ai Household printer Following the introduction earlier this year of the A4 Mini Business inkjet range for hybrid working, Brother has announced the three-strong Mini Regular series of compact A4 devices for households with print volumes of 50 to 1,000 pages a month.
