Mobile facial recognition promises clever new apps

The video at the top of this post is a Polar Rose demo of an app called “Recognizr”, which recognizes people’s faces and provides you with links to their social media accounts.
Imagine a world where every person on the street can be identified by simply pointing your phone at their face. Curious about a stranger? Point your camera at them to pull up their Facebook profile. People who had concerns over facial recognition in Facebook photos are going to have a fit about this one…
I remain eager to see what developers can do in terms of building photography & design apps. If you see anything cool, give a shout.

I’ll set up a fanpage for Minna Thompson and all Google users will find it. I’m rich!
[Heh--I too wondered whether weirdoes would start trying to track her after seeing this. --J.]
New business opportunity: Recognizer defeating cosmetics.
Subsequent arms race between recognizers and disguises should be entertaining.
just a tad bit too close to Orwellian for my tastes and fear ;-) What about folks who had their face disfigured for many reasons..?!
Agreed. Kinda gives me the creeps.
But color me a hermit.
wrong … if you give 30% apple you will die soon…
I suppose we will now have to wear a Guy Fawkes mask in order to log in anonymously?
