As a TV or radio show/podcast host, you want some of the most trending topics you can find to remind your viewers or listeners that you have a ‘nose for news’. Face recognition is one of those topics.
Why? There are many talking points you could use in your broadcast. Click here to see 15 different talking points.
1. Face recognition used by the new and coming robotics industry. Some of the newest robots have the most advanced face recognition in them.
2. When the police department for Huntington Beach released park robots, some guys decided they would try to vandalize the robots. Bad idea! The robot captured a clear picture of their faces and all of them were apprehended within a few hours.
3. Human face recognition is poor. Depending on someone’s memory of what a person looked like (if that person is untrained in face recognition) to put someone behind bars is a bad way to bring justice for crime. Prisons always include people who were identified for a case by mistaken identity.
4. Improving face recognition skills can improve relationship skills and networking for business and social reasons.
5. Face recognition skills stop developing after the age of 11.
6. When 4th graders were trained in one study by Dr. Donna, they improved the number of the characteristics seen on the face from an average of 4 to more than 25. Describing them to a forensic artist on the scene after a purse snatching in their classroom, the image drawn by the artist was a ‘spitting image’ of the suspect.
7. Plastic surgeons use the science of attractiveness to determine how to make their patients look their best.
8. The science of attractiveness confirms what we all believe is beautiful about a face, and why we are attracted to the faces of celebrities.
9. It’s possible for some people to identify someone just from their eyebrows and eyes if not trained in face recognition. However, most people could potentially identify someone just from their eyebrows if they are trained.
10. Face recognition training is fun – and the best part is Eyebrow (or Eye) Hunt parties.
11. If you are trained in face recognition, you can identify most people even though they are wearing facial masks.
12. SuperRecognizers are people born with the ability to remember a face seen only once. 300 SuperRecognizers are used in the Scotland Yard to find criminals.
13. When you first start learning about eyebrows with face recognition training, eyebrows will “POP OUT” on every face you see from then on.
14. Forensic artist drawings have not been effective at finding suspects. Most likely this is because people do not have face recognition skills better than an 11-year-old.
15. Babies prefer seeing the face of their mother early in life.
