I'm in Hong Kong, China and I've just been asked for recognition, face recognition to get into my gym. I love the level of technology in this space. Authenticate via Face. Stranger. Authenticating fails. So I'm not a member at this gym yet, but it's actually able to detect my face. Not a member and not let me into the gym. Why don't we have this in Europe?
