Mass Facial Recognition

Offering smartphone users more value, facial recognition is on the rise

Implications - Providing consumers with a high level of security and technologically unique experiences, facial recognition has never been more pervasive and accessible to tech-savvy individuals.

Trend Themes
1. Facial Recognition Integration - As facial recognition technology becomes more accessible and secure, companies can integrate it into their products to attract security-conscious consumers.
2. Age and Name Recognition Software - Software engineering can allow technology to accurately recognize a user's age and potentially their name, opening the door to new marketing opportunities based on demographics.
3. Personalized Apps with Facial Recognition Features - Developing apps with a feature that can personalize users’ experiences through facial recognition can provide a unique, customizable experience.
Industry Implications
1. Technology - Facial recognition and age/name recognition technologies have broad applications in the technology industry.
2. Marketing and Advertising - Companies can utilize facial recognition technology to tailor their marketing and advertising efforts.
3. Mobile Devices and Apps - Personalized apps with facial recognition features can provide users with a unique experience on their mobile devices.
