While the cameras are not yet active, they align with Universal’s vision for the future, as outlined in the initial announcements about Epic Universe. The goal is to streamline experiences for guests, allowing facial recognition not only for Express Pass verification but potentially even for in-park purchases, where a simple scan could link to a guest’s credit card to allow for seamless purchases.
