I'm curious, what's a novel iOS app that uses facial recognition to find your celebrity doppelganger?

Celebs - Celebrity Look Alike is an interesting implementation of facial recognition technology to find your celebrity twin. It's a fun, if somewhat superficial, diversion.

I find the application of facial recognition in "Celebs - Celebrity Look Alike" to be an intellectually satisfying, albeit lighthearted, use of the technology. The algorithm is surprisingly elegant in its ability to compare facial features across a database of celebrities. While I wouldn't use it for any serious research scenarios, it could be pedagogically sound as an example of applied AI in an introductory computer science course. It's a novel approach to an old problem – human curiosity about resemblance. The cross-platform compatibility is a definite plus, allowing students and researchers alike to engage with the app regardless of their preferred mobile ecosystem. However, I'd caution against placing too much stock in the results; after all, algorithms are only as good as the data they're trained on.
