Facedeal App For Facebook Offers Personalized Deals Using Facial Recognition

Innovations in shopping such as #-Link-Snipped-# and making #-Link-Snipped-# are always welcome by the customers. So continuing this trend, a team of developers from RedPepper Invention Lab have come up with Facedeals. In order to use this feature the customers must have the Facedeal app installed on their smartphones and must authenticate the Facedeal app on Facebook when they walk into any store which has installed Facedeal facial recognition camera. Once the facial recognition is complete the users receive notifications on their smart phones regarding the deals being offered on their favorite brands which they have liked on Facebook.

Further the Facedeal app on Facebook updates your status on Facebook with check-in of your location. The Facedeal cameras have been developed by open source technologies such as Raspberry Pi, Arduino, OpenCV, the Facebook Graph API which can search for the recent photos that you have been tagged in on Facebook to verify your facial features. Businesses can remotely configure the cameras and require 110 volt power outlets and Wi-Fi connection to run them.  For the time being this feature is being tested in the beta form at Nashville, Tennessee in the United States.
