Face Mask Recognition

Tech companies are developing algorithms that detect faces wearing masks

Trend - As the world adapts to the normality of wearing face masks due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some tech companies are also adapting accordingly. It is important to ensure that settings are secure to reduce the spread of the pandemic. To precisely track spaces and those who enter, eye-scanning technology identifies a person despite their mask conveniently.

Insight - Consumers are slowly adopting safety standards during a global pandemic into their daily routines. For some, these things have become second nature. That said, safety protocols have made consumers more cautious in general. Due to this, consumers can find reassurance when there are added layers of security performed by high-level technology.
Workshop Question - How can your company help consumers navigate through the new normal?
Trend Themes
1. Facial Recognition with Masks - Due to mandatory mask-wearing during the pandemic, facial recognition technology is being adapted to recognize individuals despite facial coverings.
2. Touchless Temperature Scanning - Touchless temperature scanners are becoming popular for businesses and workspaces to monitor the health of individuals without physical contact.
3. Mask Compliance Systems - With face masks becoming mandatory in many areas, systems are being developed to detect those who are not complying and alerting retailers or security staff.
Industry Implications
1. Technology - The adaptation of facial recognition and touchless temperature scanning systems presents significant innovation opportunities for tech companies.
2. Healthcare - Touchless temperature scanners have the potential to revolutionize the healthcare industry by reducing the spread of infectious diseases.
3. Retail - Mask compliance systems provide opportunities for retailers to improve security measures and ensure that customers are following safety protocols.
