Turntiles with facial recognition function appeared in two schools of Petrozavodsk

On November 11, the ambitious project “Technological School” was launched in the initial building of Lyceum No. 1, located on the Birch Alley. According to the head of Petrozavodsk Inna Kolykhmatova, the initiative will cover two educational organizations: Lyceum No. 1 and school No. 46.

Now students just need to look into the camera so that the turnstile automatically opens the passageway and records the time of arrival or departure. At the same time, traditional passes and maps will remain relevant, and biometric identification will be only an additional opportunity. It is important to note that the connection to the system is voluntary and only with the written consent of parents or legal representatives, as officials emphasized.

Parents will be promptly notified of the entry and exit of their children from school. School canteens have also undergone modernization: now you can pay for lunch literally “on a smile”, as well as other advanced digital services. Among the latest innovations is the “Teacher Assistant” service, which operates on the basis of the GigaChat neural network.
