GoPro Hero
GoPro also uses Machine Learning to power its QuikStories characteristic. This tool takes existing photos and videos and automatically (自动地) creates a finished video piece, complete with music and effects.
Snap Sunglasses
Messaging app Snapchat sells a pair of sunglasses with a built-in camera that can record short videos with the push of a button. Snap Inc. says the product is designed to “catch the moment, without taking you out of it.”
The glasses can record short video clips that can be shared with Snapchat users. Snap Inc. has started selling its sunglasses online.
Apple iPhone X
Apple's new iPhone X has a new Face ID system that it says will unlock the phone just by having the user look at it. This replaces the Touch ID on previous ones that used a fingerprint to unlock the phone.
Apple says the system works by projecting more than 30 000 dots on the face to create a kind of map. Apple says its facial recognition is even safe enough to allow payments through its Apple Pay service.
