“You just point it at anybody, tells you who they are.” — Silicon Valley (HBO TV Series)
In HBO’s “Silicon Valley,” when the team from the startup company Pied Piper attended TechCrunch Disrupt, they used a fictional facial recognition application to find venture capitalists rapidly.

Now, Facial Labs makes it a reality in TechCrunch Disrupt 2018.

Building social network experience on cutting-edge facial recognition technology, Facial labs aims to reform the way you interact on social apps. As long as you capture the face of whom you’re interested, the app will finish its facial identification in one millisecond and provide you with the information about the app user. You can then send him or her a message. The app allows you to expand your network in a more efficient way, even reaching to the venture capitalists whom might be interested in investing in your business with millions of dollars. Have you ever wanted a better networking approach in a large event like TechCrunch? You only have limited time at hand but there are hundreds of startup teams and venture capitalists. At the end, you may only spend an average of 5 minutes per person just to realize that he/she is not the person you need.

With Facial labs, not anymore! You can now use the app to know the person’s background even before approaching him/her. To start, sign up with your face and create a profile that links to your social accounts like LinkedIn and Facebook. After completing the registration, you will enter the interface which looks like an in-house camera. By adjusting the center of the camera to faces, the app will run the facial recognition process and show an augmented-reality (AR) face profile in real time. To better protect our user information, the AR face profiles will only show what the users have filled in. It is a new, unique and fun way to tell people who you are and learn about others. Furthermore, you can follow other users, send instant messages and build connections.

In addition, if it is inconvenient to take photos, Facial Labs will provide an alternative way to find people around you. The function is called “Nearby.” Nearby is based on the Bluetooth technology to discover users within a couple of meters.

We want you to know who you are talking to, at the moment you see him/her. said by Victor, CEO of Facial Labs. Our faces are the most expressive form of communication. Facial Labs digitalizes faces as a medium in a social network, and it will redefine our social behaviors by scanning faces, which will be as common as posting text and photos on the social networks.

Facial Labs — -”LinkedIn with facial recognition” — -is not only adopted at the networking events, but also aims to change how people interactwith each other in their daily lives.
