Harvard undergraduate named Yuen Ler Chow just developed a new social networking application called The FaceTag. It’s a facial recognition API (application programming interface) that relates our personal information to a scan of our face.
Here’s how it works…
First, a user allows the app to take a biometric scan of their face. That creates a profile. Then they can associate their contact information with the new profile. This could be a phone number, email address, and/or a social media account.
Once people have created their FaceTag profiles, it makes sharing contact information seamless. If one FaceTag user meets another, all they have to do is scan that person’s face with the FaceTag app, and it will transmit all of the contact information associated with that person’s profile. Punching in phone numbers or email addresses would become a thing of the past.
