Which Eagle star do you resemble? AI Photo Booth at 2019 Rakuten Super Nighter
Rakuten and RIT showcased their AI Photo Booth at the Rakuten Super Nighter, an annual event where the Rakuten Eagles play at the Tokyo Dome. The photo booth uses AI technology to figure out which Rakuten Eagles player you most resemble by analyzing the details features of your face. The system then matches this to a database of the same analysis done to Rakuten Eagles players, discovering which player looks most like you.
