A singer uses the facial recognition system to spy on the aggressors in a concert
- Singer Taylor Swift recorded viewers' faces through biometric sensors hidden in a kiosk, as read in The Rolling Stone magazine.
Taylor Swift abeslaria 2018ko urrian egindako sari-banaketa batean.
Swift projected the images of the essays into a kiosk and, as people looked there, the faces of the audience were recorded.
The singer compared the faces with the database he has with his aggressors to see if one of them had come to the concert he offered in California.
Although in the United States it is legal to use biometric technology in concerts, for the first time it has been shown that an artist has used it secretly.
