RealNetworks, a Seattle-based company specializing in [artificial intelligence and computer vision](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hr-face-check) products, has announced the launch of the 'MaskCheck Kiosk.' The new device aims to keep businesses and offices safe by automatically scanning entrants' faces, detecting whether or not they are wearing a mask.

The ''MaskCheck Kiosk' combines physical hardware and proprietary AI-powered software to offer businesses a simple solution for mask monitoring. Once set up, the kiosk functions as an additional security measure. The technology will prompt people entering a building or store to attend the kiosk and have their [face scanned](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-powered-facial), encouraging mask-wearing.

The device will feature instant notifications based on [mask detection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebcare-mask) and provide users with visual and audio messages approving or disapproving of their mask usage. In addition, the kiosk is entirely Wi-Fi compatible and will even provide owners with a detailed report consisting of the devices' captured mask-wearing data.
