According to TNW, "Chinese police have already introduced a phenomenal latest weapon for citizen surveillance." The sunglasses type device introduced in 2017 has a face recognition function that identifies individuals, and by just looking at the crowds of stations and airports, we scan the face of people in sight in seconds. Based on the scanned face information, it is possible to query and identify suspects registered in the database.
