Face Recognition Software Used to Compare You With Celebs

Picture_2 A company called J-Magic created this cool new service called "FACE CHECK" (Kaocheki) that tells you what celebrities you look like—for real, not in your imagination. All you have to do is take a picture of yourself with your cell phone camera and then email it to male@kaocheki.jp or female@kaocheki.jp. The company will scan your face and send you back three photos of celebrities that look like you based on Oki's face recognition software. 15 million users have taken advantage of this service since its launch last month, making it one of Japan's newest cell phone obsessions.
