Kodak Patents Age Verification Camera

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Camera maker Eastman Kodak may soon make an unintended contribution to the seemingly endless 2257 litigation with a camera that can identify the age of the person in the picture.

Scientists for the company have been working for years on technology to automatically correct “red-eye” in digital images. But sometimes work in one area leads to an unexpected discovery elsewhere.

In patent papers filed by the company, researchers suggest that it is possible to make a camera that can discern the subject’s age.

While the technology is still largely experimental, the company believes that applications could be designed to help in age verification. However, there is no word yet on how accurate the technology will be, if and when it is released in the market.

Still, the idea that technology could accurately and automatically identify a model’s age, even if that innovation is years down the road, could have huge repercussions for the adult industry, because technology rather than record-keeping could be used to insure that all performers are adults.

The camera works by focusing on the pupil’s reaction to light. According to Kodak researchers, there is a correlation between age and pupil reaction.

In other words, young pupils react differently to light than old pupils.
