A new startup company has created an online dating demo that conducts searches based on the facial features of desired celebrities and returns results showing potential mates that look like, for example, Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt. To use the demo, called “Eyealike,” a user simply uploads a photo to the Eyealike Web site and conducts a search across 300,000 images scraped from Match.com and AmericanSingles.com. The Eyealike Visual Search platform uses algorithms to evaluate the complete geometry of the face, including skin tone, eyes and hundreds of other relevant data points.
