What data does facial recognition use?

Facial recognition systems rely on biometric data, including facial landmarks and unique features such as eye spacing, jawline shape, and other distinct facial characteristics. These systems match captured images or videos with stored data to identify individuals. Some systems may also integrate other biometric data like fingerprints or iris recognition for improved accuracy.

How are casinos utilizing biometric ID?

Casinos are using biometric ID such as facial recognition and fingerprint scanning to streamline check-ins, enhance security, and enforce self-exclusion policies. Biometric IDs facilitate a smooth experience for players, reducing the need for physical cards or documents and ensuring that only authorised individuals access certain areas or services.
