Chui will be taking part in Tech Crunch Disrupt in NYC on Wednesday May 17th. We invite anyone in the area to please come demo Chui in startup alley and try to trick our technology with a picture of you! Additionally, we will be making a big announcement during the event…hint, hint - it has to do with making facial recognition available to the masses.

As a team, we have been thinking about facial recognition and its implications on a larger scale since 2012. Although we have been met with strong resistance in some situations we feel that the time for facial recognition to show its true potential is now. Whether it be access to your mobile phone, to your car, to your computer, facial recognition is the most personal, convenient and safest way to identify and authenticate you. And who doesn’t like a selfie…

The facial recognition market is predicted to reach $6.84B by 2021, according to marketsandmarkets, and Chui’s access control is just the beginning. We have 100+ active users and are continuing to install Chui in locations around the US with great feedback. We are constantly learning how to best deploy facial recognition in practice and how to improve the user experience. Stay tuned for an update about our announcement next week! We look forward to seeing some of you in NYC!
