It already has. My dentist uses something like this right now - as soon as I walked in the door (with no appointment, or call) the receptionist that I had never met knew my name and other details.
They use a camera to take a photo when you first come to your first appointment and they have cameras pointing at the door so they can tell which customer you are when you walk in.
All very slick but more than a little creepy once I realized what was going on.

- kpil 10y agoI saw a demo by IBM perhaps 8 years ago, where all customers in a bank office where automatically tagged and tracked, and identified if they had previous photos. It's actually of more value to super markets than banks, as the browsing habits in a super market is much more related to a sale.
