SANTA ROSA, Calif., April 02, 2018 -- FaceAffinity, the global leader in Face Pattern Analysis, has launched a new study of personality traits and music preferences. This research will build on prior academic and market-based research regarding personality and music preference. With music streaming representing an estimated $10 billion global market and with over 30 million songs available in digital format, the Company believes artificial intelligence may enhance the ways that artists and music consumers connect.
To participate, users may click on https://www.questionpro.com/t/AN081ZboqQ or request an invitation by emailing [email protected].
“We believe this study will provide new insights that can lead to better tools for matching musicians and bands with listeners,” said Face Affinity co-founder Wayne Rowlands. “Our technology and algorithms are perfectly suited for new applications that support artificial intelligence and augmented reality to improve quality of life. Music is such an important part of life, and such a personal experience. We believe this study will help identify better ways to connect people to great music, and especially new music and artists from around the world.”
FaceAffinity has developed the world’s first cloud-based Face Pattern Analysis API. From a single image – either a “selfie” or an uploaded image - FaceAffinity can instantly discern a range of key personality traits. FaceAffinity’s study will also include online survey questions regarding participants’ preferences in how they select and listen to music. The Company selected www.QuestionPro.com for the online survey portion of the study.
