Facial recognition is much different from analysis and detection - privacy concerns are much bigger. Recognition can be dicey, and businesses must be aware of these concerns as they start using this tech on a broader level. https://t.co/jzbaT5niHb

Face AI: our infographic helps explain the difference between face detection, face analysis, and face recognition, and how they are connected. https://t.co/LLm6qHvRnn

Facial tracking - what are some its uses? In addition to things like healthcare diagnoses and treatment, there are various commercial uses. @Meta wants to use eye-tracking data to help advertisements be more successful. What do you think? https://t.co/KKVqMUnkbP

According to @CBInsights Research, "An increasing number of companies are betting that consumers will soon be earning, spending & investing their money in shared, highly immersive virtual spaces that both mimic and go beyond what’s possible in real life."

The metaverse is essentially creating a fully functioning virtual world that’ll soon be accessible to anyone with internet access. Digital avatars in the metaverse will be key elements of how we interact personally and professionally in the future. https://t.co/fOBZXAgytY

"[T]he metaverse—loosely defined as an extensive online world where interactions happen via digital avatars—has gone mainstream as part of 'Web3,' the internet’s third act in which users move from consumers to creators to residents in online worlds." https://t.co/KpMKwBQxRW

Our junior software engineer, Adil, attended @Microsoft's Mixed Reality Dev Days Conference and learned quite a bit about the current state and future of mixed reality in a variety of spaces. Things are getting pretty exciting out here! https://t.co/GV45G3dIRk

Machine learning is modeled after the way young children learn, by taking in massive quantities of information and discovering patterns within that data. The algorithms can then use those patterns to make predictions and draw conclusions. https://t.co/Euk2DPGIPO

"The basic eye detection plugin that we use...can tell if you're smiling or if you're frowning...nodding or shaking your head...because of the simplicity of the design and focus on the face, the blink detection--it...naturally fits on [mobile]."

"Virtual try-on and 360-degree product demonstrations decreased the need for in-person transactions by 25 percent as surveyed shoppers felt more informed and confident in their web purchases." via @SourcingJournal https://t.co/RWtxvg1wpN

Virtual try-on tools like this cut out the back-and-forth color-matching service some other hair extension companies offer. https://t.co/wpsU5CZNhq

With so many retailers using #Instagram to market their products, it can be hard to stand out from the crowd. For fashion and beauty brands, there is a quick and simple way to provide customers with an optimal buying experience: virtual try-on.

One of the most exciting things about face AI tech is the potential in medicine and healthcare. It's a complicated area, but the tech - and the security features - are getting better every day.

Companies can leverage facial landmark detection to gather the data they need to provide the services and products their customers desire the most. How does it work? We outline the details here. https://t.co/gUgpJQc8zF

This piece from @DatagenTech is a great intro on facial landmarks used to identify and represent key parts of a human face - widely used for computer vision applications. https://t.co/cqY5BLAk4I

How do today's animators draw up such accurate digital faces, with all the expressions and gestures that make things feel real? It starts with using facial motion capture in real-time to map human facial expressions to digital counterparts on-screen https://t.co/vvXLrPn0WY

One of the younger members of our team, Adil, attended a webinar from @datagentech with @Meta and @IntuitiveSurge on the use of synthetic data in AI, AR, and VR. Fascinating topic; Adil tells us what he learned and what he loved. https://t.co/LVrTtxJw4u

Meta understands the value of accurate eye tracking: "VR introduces a slew of new issues that simply don’t exist with today’s 2D displays...innovations [are] needed to close the gap fall into several major categories." https://t.co/2VyyuGGTTg

Analysts predict that the AR market will reach $198 billion in 2025, and this year the number of mobile AR users is expected to reach 3.5 billion. https://t.co/jxhDCo8B8y
