Mavericks Locker Room 2.0: Mark Cuban Introduces Facial Recognition Software

During this past offseason, the Mavericks were getting a new locker room, that just was completed.  It isn’t just another ordinary locker room, but basically the locker room of the future. The new lockers will have refrigerated cup holders (BEST THING EVER!), tablet docks, personal safes, and a lot more. Cuban said:

 

“The goal was to integrate anything and everything that could give us a competitive advantage. We brought in experts from the casino industry to integrate lighting that stimulates energy and a complete renovation of our ventilation system so we could integrate oxygen and more into the air we deliver into the locker room.”

But that’s not all. They’ve also included a facial recognition technology. Welcome to the future. Cuban explained how it works:

 

“When a player walks in or anybody walks in, we’ll have facial recognition that will take a picture of you and say ok, ‘Here comes Mark,’ ‘Here comes Dirk.’ And for any of the players or any of the staff, it’ll put coaches’ notes, here’s what you’re expected to do and tell you what’s going on.”

Facial recognition when anyone enters the locker room!
