Royal Caribbean uses wearables for contact tracing; sees facial recognition as best long-term solution
Wearables provide public health and security teams onboard Royal Caribbean with a solid means of contact tracing, but the future may be in facial recognition. Royal Caribbean is certainly not the one and only company to offer wearables, in fact, the practice is widely used among cruise and amusement park or entertainment companies.
But, speaking at the Seatrade Cruise Virtual conference, Royal Caribbean Group SVP Digital Experience Jay Schneider, talked about how he believes facial recognition will be the the best long-term solution for guests.
