Travellers departing from Dubai will no longer need to pass through any sort of security clearance counter or e-gate, they will simply walk through a virtual aquarium tunnel that will scan their face or iris using hidden cameras while they\u2019re in motion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In development for nearly four years Dubai airport has been looking for a quicker and more efficient way to process more than 80 million passengers that pass through it each year.<\/p>\n

The tunnel makes use of over 80 cameras and uses imagery to encourage the departing passenger to look around at the projected environment thus significantly increasing the likelihood of a successful face and\/or iris scan.<\/p>\n

For those concerned over privacy the tunnel’s scanning and processing of departures is no different to Australia’s international departures and its eGate technology.<\/p>\n

It does feel very Minority Report however, I expect in no less than a couple of years it will start displaying targeted advertising and saying my name as I walk through.<\/p>\n
