FaceDeals – Using Facial Recognition to Reap Deals

Facebook check-ins have become even more intricate with the advent of FaceDeals – a facial recognition-based technology that can scan a person’s face and based on their page-interactions can offer a suitably-matched deal. Although not affiliated with Facebook officially the app can work by person allowing access to the app on Facebook which will scan their face and will recognise them within seconds as they pass through a business’s premises through a special camera. There, information on the person including their amount of actions such as liking and sharing on that business’s Facebook page will entitle them to a discount. Will checking in with your face catch on?
