Biometric technology company GTRIIP is piloting a solution to cut down check-in times at hotels in Singapore and Macau. The system uses facial recognition software that can identify people by their unique features. Hotel guests do, however, have to download an app and complete a pre-arrival profile before being able to use the system. The company says data submitted on the app is shared with hotels in an encrypted fashion to ensure only authorised personnel can view it. Guest data is then purged from hotel systems once check-ins are complete.
