TwitterFacebook

Caliburger launched a new point-of-sale system on Tuesday that lets customers order using facial recognition technology. (This isn’t the first time the American fast food chain has gone high tech — it previously welcomed a burger-flipping robot called Flippy.)

By recording your face in the system, you’ll be able to automatically bring up a past order next time with a simple face scan, and earn points (or Calicoins) toward free food down the track.

Yes, Snapchat has launched a burger AR lens. And, its burger is actually superior to that of Google and Apple. How very embarrassing! 

Snapchat confirmed to Mashable that the lens launched this week. Which just so happened to coincide with the furore over Apple and Google’s burger emoji. Mere coincidence? Or, straight-up trolling?  Read more…
