The last moment, the hour or the day before the deadline, should always be free. That’s your buffer zone. That’s your leverage of control – both inside and outside your mind. And the ubiquity of tech has rendered that buffered so thin that it’s bordering non-existence. But it’s up to us to impose to ourselves the discipline to retake it.
VisageCloud, a full-fledged face recognition solution, based on state-of-the-art deep learning, neural network and computer vision algorithms.

In support of the key recognition feature, the solution has built-in face key point detection and alignment, face classification on several attributes, such as gender, age group, eye color, hair color, skin color.
