Faced with the rapid development of science and technology, face recognition is no longer a story in science fiction movies. When Google released Android 4.0, facial recognition was also released. However, after one year, this function has not been widely welcomed To the era of change, but because of the photo can unlock a big joke.

But the explorer's footsteps have not stopped, Face ++ faces the face recognition once again face recognition unlock, Face ++ co-founder Inqi believe that the key reason for the face recognition unlock feature is not widely promoted or the technology is not mature enough Non-product ideas by the problem. Face ++ this entrepreneurial team which are Tsinghua cattle, they think their face recognition technology has been leading the world.

Face ++ team developed the "Cloud Face Lock" on October 22, 2013 on the line. This unlocked App unlocks as a selling point, but not disappointing. In addition to the first use, you need to spend a few seconds with the front camera to record your avatar, and then every time you can "brush face" seconds into the phone, faster than the password, patterns and other unlock methods. In addition to still images can fool the identification system easy to unlock the problem, there have been two times with the photo in the cloud face application lock experiments, are not unlocked successfully.

Cloud Face Application Lock is Face ++'s first consumer-facing product. Until then, it has been providing developers with free face detection, recognition, analysis, data and other face recognition services. Cloud face application lock is introduced on the one hand to promote Face ++ brand, on the other hand is to attract more R & D personnel, the use of Face ++ face recognition technology. India odd mentioned that as long as the face recognition technology is interested, even if there is no programming based white user can also be used in Face ++ novice to create face recognition and related applications, such as couples matching tools.

In fact, as early as the beginning of business in 2011, Tsinghua University is the latest year's curiosity they are more positioning itself as a mobile game company rather than face recognition service platform. They have developed the first mobile sensory game in Mainland China that uses visual recognition technology - "crows come." Players control the characters in the game by rocking their heads. Although the game on the line once rushed into the top five in the App Store in China, but in the odd-odd team, this is face recognition technology out of fashion, and the game is not what they are good at.

So in September 2012, Indochina and his companions decided to transition to face recognition service platform, focus on face recognition technology development and services for developers, Face ++ 1.0 version in October the same year on the line, and then have 360 , Mito Xiu Xiu and other technical services.

In July this year, Face ++ got the investment of 10 million rounds in innovation workshop. The next step is to focus on individual consumers. Not long ago, the Finnish company Uniqul's "brush face consumption" (the user only needs to face the POS machine screen The camera nodded, and click OK to pay) gave their implication of a lot of inspiration, this real terminal service is their future consideration.

"We want to be Google in China, although it's still far behind," the 88-year-old founder said at the end of the interview.
