Alibaba teases new face recognition tool for mobile pay

Alibaba may be about to take the concept of dining out on your face to a whole new level.

Users of the e-commerce giant’s mobile payment systems could soon be able to pay by scanning their face with a smartphone, after Alibaba’s boss teased the new technology on Sunday.

The service called "Smile To Pay" is currently in beta mode, but was shown off by Alibaba CEO Jack Ma during his keynote speech at the CeBit tech trade fair.
