New and Shiny Tech on the Golf Course: Facial Recognition at the U.S. Open? Not Quite Yet
Hey there, sports and tech fans! Let's talk about the latest buzz in the golf world - facial recognition. You might be wondering if the U.S. Open, the biggest golf event of the year, has jumped on the bandwagon. Well, not exactly, at least for the men's tournament at Oakmont in 2025.
While there's been no mention of facial recognition tech at the U.S. Open this year, you might've seen it pop up elsewhere. For instance, at the U.S. Women's Open, which took place at Erin Hills, they've adopted a digital ticketing system with facial recognition. This system aims to streamline access and beef up security for the spectators, making re-entry a breeze.
But let's not forget about the NBA scene. The gang at the Intuit Dome, where the LA Clippers play, are pioneering facial recognition for a more personalized fan experience, complete with customized greetings and seat-specific analytics. Talk about taking entertainment to the next level!
So, while the men's U.S. Open may not be leveraging facial recognition yet, it's definitely a trend we'll likely see more of in the world of sports. Keep your eyes peeled for further developments!
