Imagine a front desk without people

For hotels, it cuts costs (Chicago Tribune)
Consider this: You go to the front desk to check in, your image is captured on computer, you're given your room number but no key card. You get to your room and a facial-recognition reader opens the door for you. Or maybe you just check in at a lobby kiosk and bypass the front desk altogether. Or you use your credit card to enter your room.
Biometrics figure to be the linchpin in a host of revolutionary and cost saving technologies and processes.

The return on investment (ROI) is significant.
