Image Recognition
PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — For Phillies fans who opt into a new pilot program at Citizens Bank Park, their face is their ticket. Starting with Monday's game against the Giants, the first base gate will have a special lane with a facial recognition scanner. “This enables an ‘eyes up’ experience,” said Karri Zaremba, MLB senior vice president for ballpark experience and ticketing. RelatedHowever, it's not a security system. MLB is piloting the facial recognition system, called “Go-Ahead Entry,” in Philadelphia, with plans to expand it to other cities next season.
