In this photo taken Tuesday, March 21, 2017, a man tries out a facial recognition toilet paper dispenser at a toilet in the Temple of Heaven park in Beijing, China.

But they needed a means of preventing patrons from stripping them bare for personal use - hence the introduction of new technology that dispenses just one 60-centimeter (2-foot) section of paper every nine minutes following a face scan.
