Face recognition?

A programmer, in thinking about how to configure the sound unit, came up with an idea, to use face recognition software to remember the viewer and triger the sound remotely from a computer in the exhibition space.

Nice! However, where to put the sensor on the piece? The idea of a lens peaking out from the side or the middle of the piece is inappropriate for this installation (although I have a thought on where it could exist on a future piece, already in the works). Had the pieces not been  printed on paper, it would make it a possibility but then take away the massiveness of the piece.

The lens could be outfitted on both sides so the sound would exist only as long as a particular viewer lingered in front of the piece, but that affects how the sound would meld with others during the exhibition, altering the collaborative interactive experience.
