00:00Passengers scan their faces at Taipei Songshan Airport to enter restricted areas.
00:08The airport has just launched OneID, a new system allowing passengers to drop off their bags,
00:15pass through security checks, enter VIP lounges, and board flights simply by scanning their faces
00:22at each stop. The airport says this could reduce wait times, staffing needs, and operational costs.
00:29And so far, passengers here seem to like it.
00:41Here's how it works. To use the system, you'll first need to register your face during check-in.
00:50Your passport will be scanned, and the chip inside of it will convert your photo into an identifier,
00:56which will then allow you to use the facial scanners.
00:59It's a system that took over two years to put in place.
01:13Songshan is the first airport in Taiwan to implement OneID.
01:17But if it goes well, other airports around the country might consider rolling it out, too.
