A live demonstration of Qualcomm's Edge AI facial recognition software is displayed on a monitor at the Fira Gran Via in Barcelona, Spain, on March 5, 2026. It features real-time person identification and metadata tagging powered by the Qualcomm Dragonwing NPro A7 Elite platform (or QCS6490 SoC). The system utilizes a 12-megapixel Sony IMX577 image sensor to capture high-resolution biometric data, which is processed locally by the Hexagon NPU with a 12 TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second) AI engine to verify identities and grant hands-free access via Ultra-Wideband (UWB) proximity detection. It highlights a ''privacy-first'' approach where no data is transmitted to the cloud during the Mobile World Congress (MWC). (Photo by Joan Cros/NurPhoto)
