Facial recognition is an emerging technology that is being implemented in many ways, such as paying for things or providing access to locked-down facilities. The leading country for this is the People’s Republic of China, the name of the startup company (with an estimated worth of $1 billion) being Face++, pronounced face-plus-plus. The software pinpoints 83 points on the human face that tracks distances between them. One major use of this is using your face as credentials to access your bank account and make payments, like the app Alipay that has a user-base of 120 million people already.
