What retailer wouldn’t be thrilled to have a big spender walk through the door itching to drop a few hundred thousand dollars?
A new facial recognition technology from NEC identifies VIPs so shopping clerks can ditch regular folk like you and me and swarm to the potentially big-ticket buyers.
The company’s VIP Identification software monitors data from real-time closed-circuit TVs or surveillance cameras, matching images against a business’ VIP guest database. If it spots a match, an alert, mobile or otherwise, can be sent to retail or hospitality personnel.
The matching process can take less than a second, meaning Donald Trump will barely have a chance to get past a store’s humanoid robot greeter before receiving immediate doting service.
