Summary Two children's theme parks, KidZania in Kuala Lumpur, ESCAPE Penang, and ESCAPE Petaling Jaya, have facial registration forms of check in. Ticket2U describes the system they have developed for this registration as facial recognition. Patrons (including the children) upload their photos to the registry app and it ID's them on entry. This form of registration appears to be mandatory and is certainly mandatory for KidZania. In ESCAPE, instead of photo booths, patrons are offered photos collected of them enjoying the amenities at the end of their stay, photos are 'matched and filtered' for them from the park. Facial recognition appears to be live throughout the park.
