Being in the facial recognition space we see a lot of news come through every week. We decided to try and compile a list of some of the best and most interesting news for our customers sprinkled in with what we are working on as well.

 

Our Favorite Story of the Week

 

Do our faces reveal how trustworthy we are?

According to this latest study from New York University they do! The position of someone's cheekbones and eyebrows are a big factor in how people judge their honesty.

Excerpt:
"The brain takes just 33 milliseconds - three hundredths of a second, or a tenth of a time it takes to blink - to decide whether someone is to be trusted."

Twins day in Ohio

The number one question we get at Kairos is "Can facial recognition detect twins?". The answer is that it depends, but researchers are taking advantage of a huge gathering of twins yet again to help refine the state of the art. Link

Facial recognition is making your face more valuable than ever

As facial recognition becomes more widespread and ubiquitous we will find more uses for this data, but with more information comes more responsibility and the industry will need to make certain that proper controls are in place to protect privacy. Link
