Ebay Uses Face Recognition to Reduce Stress

Ebay had a two-day pop-up store in Oxford Street, London, comprising four in-store biometric pods with interactive touchscreens. Facial recognition was used to help shoppers to choose gifts. The shoppers were shown product images as they thought of different people, and were then sent a list of the products which appealed the most. A previous study suggested that shoppers become stressed after just 32 minutes of looking for gifts, so any help could alleviate this.
