Primary school students in China have started wearing smart uniforms equipped with tracking technology, which sends a message to their parents if they try to skip classes.
The school uniforms cost £ 17 and the shoulders are embedded with two chips connected to the school's face recognition camera and its central computer system.
There are a variety of colors to choose from, and each school can adjust according to its own needs.
The technique is able to check the time of the students at school if they are late and do not go home directly at the end of the day.
In the development of face recognition technology, China has been at the forefront.
It is reported to have the ambition to create a system that can identify people with 90 accuracy in three seconds.
Every morning, students are captured by the school's facial recognition camera for 20 seconds of video and send a message to their parents' mobile phones and schools telling them that they have
Then follow up the student's movements throughout the day, collect data on their activities, and upload them to an app for teachers and parents to view.
Any student who leaves the school without permission will trigger an alarm at the school gate.
The uniforms were produced by Guizhou Guanyu technology, which took them two years to develop.
Company manager Chang Chengfei told the Daily Mail that the school uniform has been launched in 11 schools in Guizhou and Guangxi in southern China.
The technology is only used to track students in school, not outside school, he said.
In addition to smart school uniforms, Chinese schools have also installed facial recognition cameras in classrooms to ensure that students pay attention.
Students at No. 11 high school in Hangzhou, East China, were carefully observed by three cameras placed above the blackboard.
The camera monitors different facial expressions and inputs them into the computer system to see if they like the class or if they are bored.
According to the New York Times, there are currently an estimated 0. 2 billion fixed facial recognition cameras in China.
In addition, the authorities are exploring other ways of using the technology.
Chinese police have begun using smart sunglasses that recognize your face in the crowd.
This means that the authorities will be able to automatically monitor criminals moving around the city without having to really remember the face of the offender.
