The market for fake eyes made on resin and plastic seems to have a brilliant future. Soon most of all 'certified 100% humans' talking on internet will be animatronic heads without a brain. Same as today

The orb is a multi-spectral imager with extreme zoom, liquid lens, and very tamper hardened. They'll be everywhere.

  I doubt it. For one thing, the ergonomics of an "orb" are horrible. This is a solution looking for a problem and seemingly designed by people who took the wrong lessons from Apple's success. Incidentally they have a typo in their announcement page[1]. > The Orb is the incluse[sic], secure and anonymous device that enables World ID holders to verify their humanness and uniqueness. I assume "incluse" is meant to be "inclusive". But what's "inclusive" about letting a startup with foggy monetization plans collect everyone's biometrics? Sounds like bullshit.

So far the orbs have been human operated and I think they'd give you a funny look if you tried it with a fake head.

  If you need an orb plus an human to recognize a person, why do you need the orb. Just use the biggest cheapest technology available, just one human and no orb asking for an ID card. Or a sign of "put your card in this slot to open the door please". Well tested and reliable. But if we think that the orb is doing something here, why not be ambitious? Lets provide each door with a device to extract blood and made a DNA analysis so is 100% granted that every time somebody enter their home is not a thief disguised as the owner
