A web application comparing oneself to celebrities? Cute, sure. It's hosted off a genealogy site.
The technology got me curious. The application was powered by Cognitec GmbH.
One of their product applications: biometric border control.
The present: gathering biometric data from around the world enables them to refine their face recognition algorithms to handle the variety expressed by the human race.
The future: biometrics combined with genealogy data could be used to assess genetic background on the fly at borders and airports, enabling scans for relatives of suspects.
