# Twin-Determining Apps Twins Or Not is the New Entertaining Facial Recognition App From Microsoft By Alyson Wyers | Published 2015-06-11 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twins-or-not References: [designtaxi](http://designtaxi.com/news/376512/After-How-Old-net-Let-Microsoft-Guess-If-You-Have-A-Twin/) & [twinsornot.net](http://twinsornot.net/) Following the release of the hugely popular [viral sensation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-or-real) How-Old.net, [Microsoft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsoft-designer-app) just launched Twins Or Not. The system allows users to upload two pictures and the look alike determining robot will guess if the pictured people are twins or not. Following the sometimes hilariously wrong results of their previous app, it is likely this new one will follow a similar trajectory. The Microsoft app uses [facial recognition technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/findthatface) again in order to analyze if the photos that are submitted look enough alike to be twins. While it is unclear how accurate the app's guesses will be, it will undoubtedly keep you entertained, whether you are looking for time to kill or just need a fun activity to do among friends. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Facial Recognition Games:** Develop games that use facial recognition technology for users' entertainment and enjoyment - **Personalized Facial Recognition Technology:** Create personalized facial recognition technology that can be used for more accurate guesswork and identification - **Online Competitions:** Offer online competitions that use facial recognition technology and incentivize user engagement ### Where This Applies - **Entertainment:** Integrate facial recognition technology into the entertainment industry for new forms of engagement and personalization - **Gaming:** Use facial recognition technology in gaming to create a more immersive and interactive experience - **Social Media:** Use these apps to generate traffic for online social media accounts and offer unique entertainment value ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Family Resemblance Analyzers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/youorme.md) - [Celebrity Face Matches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cast-swapper.md) - [AI Baby Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-baby-generator.md) - [AI Baby Predictors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ai-baby-generator.md) - [AI-Generated Baby Images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-baby-generator1.md) - [AI Selfie Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roast-my-selfie.md) - [AI-Powered Avatar Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-magic-avatar.md) - [AI Video Cloning Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-twins.md) - [Romantic AI Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/true-love-portrait.md)
