The idea of face recognition was first brought by the mathematician Woodrow Wilson Bledsoe in 1960 who decided to hand draw proportion analysis and it was until 1991 until we start running these proportions analysis. and the use of it was first in the Super Bowl in 2002 in the US but it wasn’t that effective because they were looking for potential criminals but they ended having false positives. In 2010 Facebook succeeded to implement the facial recognition system via the auto face tag.

With a immense creativity There has been a variant uses of this technology, from recognizing criminals and protecting your devices, to daily uses like unlocking your phone, paying at the ATM. Nowadays It Became a tool of leisure and fun as it was implemented in Augmented Reality.
The AR implementation is connected directly with the world of computer vision. Generally, the media used is a video camera and a marker. By determining the position detected form the marker, AR can be accomplished in other word.
When it comes to face detection combined with augmented reality there you find a fascinating world full of fun experiences and that can show up in different ways.
