Catching a glimpse of your mug on the golf course: US Open's facial recognition app
Get ready to smile as you step onto the fairway – the US Open is rolling out facial recognition technology! Although the exact details of its application at the tournament are yet to be disclosed, facial recognition is already making waves in the sports world, enhancing fans' experience.
Take, for instance, the NBA games at the Intuit Dome, where facial recognition technology is part of a broader strategy to customize the experience for fans[3]. As for events like the U.S. Women's Open, a digital ticketing system is in place, but no specific mention has been made of facial recognition for the US Open golf tournament[4].
While the specific uses of facial recognition at US Open golf events remain unknown, possible applications could range from securing the venue, managing the crowd, or even personalizing the spectator experience, similar to other sports arenas. But for now, we're still waiting to hear the finer details!
So don't forget to flash that Cheshire cat grin as you saunter onto the course – who knows, it might just land you on the leaderboard of spectator tech innovations!
