<title>New App Scans Bars, Tells You Where The Hot Scenes Are</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-23046" title="mza_3022963238017091714.320x480-75" src="http://www.mediabistro.com/appnewser/files/2012/05/mza_3022963238017091714.320x480-75-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" />A watchful eye has arrived on your bar scene, but it&#8217;s here to check you out, not to keep you in check.</p>
<p>SceneTap is a recently relaunched app from a data analytics, marketing services and mobile app developer. While this app has long provide bar stats which have been submitted by users, a recent update added image recognition features which could come in handy. You no longer have to rate a bar; now you can just let it take a photo and let the app do the rest. <a href="http://www.azcentral.com/offbeat/articles/2012/05/19/20120519PNI0519-wir-san-francisco-app-bars-face-scan.html" target="_blank">The AP</a> has more details:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;SceneTap&#8217;s ability to guess how old people are and whether they&#8217;re men  or women relies on advances in a field known as biometrics. A camera at  the door snaps your picture, and software maps your features to a grid.  By measuring distances such as the length between the nose and the eyes  and the eyes and the ears, an algorithm matches your dimensions to a  database of averages for age and gender.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
