Found it. Too bad the OP of the original thread sucks at naming threads.
Here we go again

How is this technology that cool though? Get a finger print scanner for your house if thays what they want. See how often that fails to open the first tryWhere is the other thread with the people saying this wouldn't fail because "muh single function".![[rofl]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/013.gif "ROFL [rofl]")
they need to add that shit so they can push it to LEO's however. For them that is the ultimate validation.
I don't know that it is fair to label the target demographic as "low info people", That's like saying the 78% of Americans who have no interest in a bicycle with derailleurs are "low info" because they are a potential market for CVTs and ebikes.
People are idiots, they love punching themselves in the d*ck.
Same with EV.
Get ready for the same lame excuse "the technology is cool so I want to support them"
How could something as complicated as this fail?Colorado-based Biofire Tech is taking orders for a smart gun enabled by facial-recognition technology, the latest development in personalised weapons that can only be fired by verified users.

But in a sign of the long, challenging road that smart guns have faced, a prototype twice failed to fire when demonstrated for Reuters this week.
Kai Kloepfer, the company founder and chief executive, said the software and electronics have been fully tested, and the failure was related to the mechanical gun which was made from pre-production and prototype parts.
At other times during the demonstration the weapon fired successfully and the facial-recognition technology appeared to function.
Biofire’s gun can also be enabled by a fingerprint reader, one of several smart gun features designed to avoid accidental shootings by children, reduce suicides, protect police from gun grabs, or render lost and stolen guns useless.

Works every time...So did it fail or not? Now they are saying it works every time.

It didn't. I post, go to work, then maybe post something else, then remember this thread when someone posts and bumps it ...
To be fair - in most of America, this isn't an uncommon choice. The loaded pistol in the bedside table, or shotgun behind the kitchen door are clichés for a reason. While locks might be a better solution for safe storage in a home with "unauthorized persons," there are reasons that some folks don't choose them.
That assumes the kind of person this is marketed to could do anything even accidentally described as grappling.I'm sure this will work great when shooting from retention while grappling with a bad guy.
True, people state these behaviors here. I think it’s a bad habit. I live alone and I don’t do it. Even with this “solution”, with unauthorized persons around that gun may disappear or may not be the last place you put it. At that point you better know how to grapple.
I'm not talking about learning BJJ. All I'm saying is that defensive shootings often happen within arms length such that you would be unable or unwise to bring the gun up to eye level. All the training I've had has been in that case to shoot from retention, with the gun close to my strong side. In that situation, the facial recognition sensor on the rear of the gun has no line of sight to your face and thus can't work. In other words, this gun is fatally flawed from its conception. Any gun that you can't shoot from a compromised position is a range toy not a defensive tool.
Either of the sensors suffices to enable the gun to fire -- so as long as you can get your strong hand on the fingerprint sensor, the facial recognition camera isn't in play.
Unless you are wearing gloves at the time...
Was wondering that myself. Will the facial recognition work in pitch black?
A cool thing about the American experiment is that we're all free to have as many bad habits as we'd like.
Recalling that this is targeting the especially niche market of people who want it for the talismanic purpose of defense in a home where it can be left unlocked and still be trusted to be "child safe" they're probably not going to be wearing gloves and fighting from retention.
Their marketing blurb calls it "The smart gun uses fingerprint identification and 3D infrared facial recognition sensors that work independently; the first to be triggered will unlock...", which sounds like it's active IR illuminated and shouldn't be easily fooled by a picture of your face.
