Make sure your staff are smiling properly, invest in a smile scanner!

The advancement of technology has astounded the world. From mobile phones the size of little dogs to the size of a pencil sharpener. But nobody is better at creating new and unusual technology than the Japanese.

The Japanese Railway company Keihin Electric Express, announced that they had incorporated a new piece of technology into their systems, called a smile scanner! Basically it is able to teach employees to smile in the proper way.

According to reports, every morning the employees must go over to this smile scanner and smile as much as possible into a monitor. The amazing (yet somewhat scary machine) then tells you what is wrong with your smile. It works by scanning your face and analysing things like; lip curvature, eye movement and all your facial wrinkles. This computer system will also generate a rating for you, it will give you a number between 100 and 0, letting you know of the quality of your smile.

If you really want it, the machine can tell you how to improve. If it believes your smile to be unacceptable, it will tell you to improve the corner of your mouth by lifting it up. Brilliantly it will also print out a picture of you with your ideal smile printed on it. So that if you start to feel gloomy throughout the day it will uplift your spirits.

Apparently flight attendants will be the next employees to see this piece of software, as this is the place for happy faces. So on your next Caribbean holidays or Canada holidays and you find one of these crazed smiles staring at you. At least you wont be worried that they are just crazy.

If anything the use of this scanner will bring a smile to the employees face, surely it must be quite funny. After a while I suppose there is a chance it could get quite tedious.
