The camera works by focusing on the pupil’s reaction to light. According to Kodak researchers, there is a correlation between age and pupil reaction.

So the day before their 18th birthday it reads one thing & the next day, it reads another?

Biometrics is accurate to a point, but that is taking into account a general data sampling of the population. It is exact insofar as it can recognize an individual, but for purposes of age recognition it is a flawed model.

There are teams of brilliant scientists all over the world now working on slowing and eventually curing completely the aging process, http://www.methuselahmouse.org/ unfortunately, there are as of right now, no proven aging biomarkers that are universally accepted to assess the age of an individual.

There is a general consensus that a deterioration of biological systems occurs over time, but the exact amount of that deterioration is not agreed upon.

This really is stupid - how does the camera know if the person is naked or clothed?

Say you take a pic of your daughter at her 16th birthday party - does it not allow you to do so?

"Sorry honey, I'd like to take a picture of our newborn son, but the camera says I have to wait 18 years...."

Some amazingly scary things are around the corner.

I wonder if the intention of this stupid thing is that if you used it to take the pictures, your content is entirely legal. But that would also require some sort of embedded code in each picture it takes. And if there is some sort of embedded code, it seems, it wouldn't take long for someone to find it and be able to put it on any picture taken by any camera.

It seems to me that if this thing actually does what it claims, child pornographers would be more rampant than ever.

LOL it would probably think I was about 250 given I have an eye condition called aides pupil that my pupils don't constrict as fast as normal in reaction to light.

God help you if you have a minor with aides pupil and trying to use that fancy dan camera, might say she is older when she really isn't. I just think that is so much

to think you could judge age accurately with a camera.

i find it interesting that a mainstream company like Kodak would actually acknowledge that an "age verification" process would be necessary thus a back door endorsement of evil drinking, smoking and *gasp*.. porn.

Hmm maybe the next big elective surgery procedure will be pupil reduction to reduce the aging process. "Hey honey how old are you?" "I'm 30 it says so in my age verified pupil picture even though my driver's lic. says i'm 63".
