How Amazon is playing a ‘world first’ role in the Royal Wedding
Amazon Rekognition cloud technology will attempt to label every arriving wedding guest entering St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. You’ll notice faces like George Clooney, but the other 600 to 800 guests may not be as easily identified without the help of artificial intelligence being used to label and profile the relationship to bride and groom. 
The name and profile will be overlaid on the live video on the Sky News app Who’s Who feature. The idea is that you could be watching the Royal Wedding on live TV anywhere in the world while using your smartphone or tablet as a second screen to see who made the guest list in real time.
Top 4 Royal Wedding Apps and Sites
1/ Sky News app
‘Who’s who’ feature will tap into Amazon Rekognition technology to label guest names and relationship to the bride and groom on the live video as guests enter the chapel. The app works from the US but the Who’s who functionality is not active until the day of the wedding to put it to the test. iOS | Android
If you are in the UK, Sky claims to have the best video quality as the only broadcaster in Ultra High Def which means you could see the texture and subtle detail of Meghan’s dress 4 times better than regular HD.
2/ St. George’s Chapel Windsor Castle 360 degree tour
This virtual St. George’s Chapel 360 degree tour offers a neck stretching tour inside the chapel where Price Harry and Meghan Markle will marry. You can listen to the bells from The Curfew Tower just west of the chapel originally build as part of the castle’s defenses by Henry III in 1227.
3/ Windsor Castle official site
The official site for the Windsor Castle offers a guide to the weekend home to the Her Majesty with a 900 year royal history located about 20 miles outside London.
4/ Official Royal Family site www.royal.uk
No fake news here. Teaming with Royal Wedding news and features, and current goings on, this is the one and only Royal site that is the official source for the the Royal family.
There are some other Royal Wedding countdown apps that are not worth your time.
Royal Wedding Security Boosted by Tech
Thames Valley Police in charge of the Windsor borough of the wedding is getting some outside help to boost strict security measures. Much of the deployment cannot be seen by the naked eye.
A sophisticated CCTV system with license plate recognition is activated. The National Police Air Service is lending a hand along with snipers, undercover police and month long investigations from counter terrorism units.
Mandatory security screening is at every point of entry into Windsor including the train. E News reports the tally for Royal Wedding security is $33M.
