"While there are legitimate concerns about the use of facial recognition technology, there are also plenty of beautiful and innovative ways it can improve our daily lives," brand Sanchez. For example, he sees benefits for people with disabilities.Recently, researchers unveiled the " Xplor "a white cane with face recognition. The stick can identify people walking by and warn the user if an acquaintance of his or her arrival. Another example is the Samsung Memory Recaller app . This app helps Alzheimer's patients to recognize the faces of friends and acquaintances.
