Blink Identity uses advanced facial recognition technology to identify people at a full walking speed, handling over 60 people per minute in any lighting conditions, for improved guest experiences and secure access control at live events. Blink is revolutionary - our unique experience at large-scale/in-motion identity, combined with our focus on usability and privacy, allows us to lead adoption in the live event sector as well as additional new markets. Currently, commercial biometrics are almost nonexistent -- primarily because other systems are high-friction, difficult to use, inaccurate and vague about privacy/data protections. Blink is here to change all that. The founding team has spent the last decade building and deploying large scale biometric identification systems in the Middle East for the Department of Defense and are bringing their expertise to the commercial market to provide security, access control and VIP customer experiences.
