It's clear from the sign that there's a camera which will be used to match your face against the photo on file.
Similar to the e-gates at immigration, but rather than matching against your passport biometric photo, it will match against the photo taken at domestic security.
It
could be used for non-domestic flights, but only for passengers with approved biometric passports.
