TOKYO -- The World Expo 2025 in Osaka will adopt Japanese technology company NEC's facial recognition system for use in entry and payments, aiming to boost visitor convenience at an event expected to draw over 28 million people.
Holders of an all-access pass will be able to use facial recognition by registering their photo and a payment method in advance. The system will enable them to enter the event and make purchases at shops and cafes by just scanning their faces.
