Japan reveals plan to use facial recognition security system at 2020 Olympic Games
A facial recognition system will be used across an Olympics for the first time as Tokyo organizers work to keep security tight and efficient during the 2020 Games. The NeoFace technology, developed by NEC Corp., will not be used on spectators. Instead, it will be customized to monitor athletes, officials, staff and media at over 40 venues, games villages and media centers. The system was officially unveiled by Olympic and company officials on Tuesday. Local organizers said Tokyo will be the first Olympic host to introduce the face recognition technology at all venues.
