"The Toss Front cam is presented as a concept point‑of‑sale terminal that merges minimalist aesthetics with cutting‑edge biometric technology. Industrial designer Kwanjun Ryu's concept, he strips away unnecessary bulk and creates a clear functional hierarchy. The front‑facing camera is placed prominently to capture facial data, while a forward‑facing magnetic stripe reader enables transactions in confined spaces. An NFC reader positioned near the display lets users view transaction details during contactless payments, illustrating how the concept balances form and function."
"Building on the earlier Toss Front 2 concept, the new design proposes a more compact shape and introduces a dual‑camera system to improve facial‑recognition reliability and reduce fraud risk. The iF Design award description of the predecessor notes that dual cameras provide accurate recognition without expanding the device's profile, and the modular card IC reader can be swapped easily for maintenance. These are features that the new concept extends and refines."
"Ryu applies a two‑tone palette, which typically is a muted matte base with a contrasting accent, to guide users intuitively toward the camera and payment zones. This subtle color strategy differentiates functional areas without overwhelming the viewer, a technique praised in industrial design for its clarity and elegance. From a technical standpoint, the concept envisions the front camera capturing high‑resolution facial data that is processed locally for real‑time identity verification. Local processing reduces latency and enhances privacy by avoiding cloud transmission."
The Toss Front cam concept presents a compact, minimalist point-of-sale terminal integrating biometric and traditional payment options. A prominent front-facing camera plus a forward-facing magnetic stripe reader and a display-adjacent NFC reader enable facial-recognition, card swipe, and contactless transactions in tight spaces. A dual-camera system and modular card IC reader improve recognition reliability, reduce fraud risk, and simplify maintenance. A restrained two-tone palette visually guides users to functional zones. Local high-resolution facial-data processing provides real-time verification with reduced latency and improved privacy. The compact silhouette supports installation on narrow counters or wall mounts for flexible deployment.
