highly in terms of its quality. After years of
dedication and hard work, we’ve managed
to achieve a level of accuracy that is
practically unparalleled. The objective of this
technology is to channel the potential of
Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality
to assist in law enforcement procedures.
“We are eager to see how the software
assists in maintaining the safety of law-
abiding citizens. This innovative technology
can significantly boost the safety of the
general public, particularly in crowded
venues and can identify potential threats. So
far the response from our customers and the
market overall has been extremely positive.”
The independent Face Recognition Vendor
Test conducted by the US National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST) has
recorded a True Positive Rating (TPR) of
97.45%, indicating a high percentage of
accurate matches, and a False Positive Rating
(FPR) of only 0.1% on a test database
of over one million faces for NNTC’s face
recognition algorithm.

are embedded with an eight-megapixel
camera. The glasses leverage the iFalcon
software to detect up to 15 faces per video
frame. The software is capable of identifying
an individual in less than a second, and
notifications regarding positive matches are
sent to the see-through display embedded
within the lens.
iFalcon Face Control also allows its wearers
mobility: no data connectivity is required for
the software to function; users can carry or
wear a portable base station which connects
to the glasses and stores a database of
‘watch-listed’ individuals. Meanwhile,
notifications sent to the built-in display frees
up the wearer to interact with people or
perform alternative tasks.
Below Dmitry Doshaniy, General Manager at
NNTC, tells Intelligent CIO more about this
trailblazing technology.
“At a noisy horse racing track there is a lot
of excitement in the air as people came
to see the race and to have a good time.
While graceful horses are galloping along
