If you think Apple’s use of fingerprint scanning technology to log in to your smartphone was futuristic you haven’t seen anything yet! Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba are looking to introduce facial recognition to enable you to make on-line payments with your smartphone!
Making it easier to pay on-line is something that Apple and Alibaba have been looking into for a while. It’ll be really interesting to see how this develops over the next couple of years and which recognition system will come out on top.
If you thought that the pace of development within technology was slowing down, it’s time to think again. It’s hard to visualise what the world will look time in 5 years time with all the new tech being introduced. You’re probably not going to need keys for your driverless car, it’s more likely to be the most popular recognition system.
