I’m in Lisbon for the weekend — any farcasters around?

First time seeing one of these dystopian mfs in the wild https://i.imgur.com/z4qMomo.jpg

i want to understand the form factor, any clue?

I think you pick it up and it scans your face. It appears to include a front facing camera. I didn’t see anyone try it

yes that’s right. what i’m curious about is why the oversized orb held in such an exalted/worshipping fashion. will start my digging …

Aesthetics rule everything, and maybe this design was deemed to be right for the project — which I would mostly agree with. Definitely beats a TSA-style camera + fingerprint sensor
