“Once it has a grip on your face, and that takes like a second, its not a lengthy process and it’ll take your temperature,” says Magid.
The kiosks are fully automated, offer facial recognition, and some include a dispenser for hand sanitizer.

“It will say that you have high temperature, and the machine will go red and flash an alarm,” says Magid.
Magid expects that Las Vegas will see a good chunk of their kiosks in the future.
“We have offices, warehouses and facilities in Las Vegas so for us, it’s a key market to help them get back to business,” says Magid.
