Digital Signage Connection (DSC), the news and information portal supported by Digital Signage Expo as its year-round resource for digital signage professionals and end users invested in the digital signage space, announced the latest installment of its monthly webinar series will take place Thursday, Dec. 1 at 2 p.m. EST.

Adrian Weidmann, Founder and Principal of StoreStream Metrics, will present “The Promise & Pitfalls of Facial Recognition & Biometrics,” a topic that was also addressed by the Digital Signage Expo Advisory Board’s Network Council last August.

“The ability to trigger creative messaging based on consumer moods, facial expressions, etc., will create more interaction with the consumer and brand, said Ian Dallimore, Director of Innovation & Sales Strategy at Lamar Advertising. If done correctly and subtly, the viewer isn’t even aware they are attracted and engaged with the ad. Facial recognition allows this.“
