It allows Facebook members to upload their own photos of themselves and find/match a similar looking Facebook member. The idea is to find your mirror image. It's Coca-Cola's way of saying "Coke has found it's reflection in Coke Zero ... now you can find yours".<br /><br />The technology that COca-Cola use in their Facial Profiler application is the same technology used by law-enforcement agencies to locate individuals within large pools of people. The developers of the Facial Profiler application are clever. Once your photo is uploaded, the photo is analyzed, and your identical match is found. Users can then vote on their results.<br /><br />You can reach out to your match through friend requests. I'm not sure our other members feel about being contacted by there twin, but it would certainly freak me out.<br /><br />It looks like the application, over time, will become a big hit on Facebook. I'm certainly going to play with it over the coming weeks and see what other matches I can find.<br /><br />On another note, ZWinky have released an application for Facebook which allows you to turn yourself into a 3D image. <a href="http://lwken.com/click/?s=69360&amp;c=134130"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Check it out here, it's pretty cool</span>.</span></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8800861210685381801-4116095312839944923?l=facial-profiler.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>AdminMannoreply@blogger.com0
