New App for Google Glass allows identification of strangers via facial recognition

And we all laughed at those silly indigenous people who thought that a photograph captured their soul.

God damn this techno-big-brother world.

I'm not sure which is worse!

The future of online dating: The facial recognition app that matches up potential couples - but not before checking the sex offenders registry

-NameTag allows users to snap strangers and see their social media profiles

-It will also cross-reference photos with dating sites including Match.com

-In addition, users can check photos against various criminal databases

That's a good point.

Wow. EXACTLY. Those indigenous people nailed it. That's prophetic.

Facial recognition and wink-triggered cameras have been at the heart of the U.S. Congress’s concerns about Glass, and Google has responded by saying it will ban facial recognition apps from its marketplace of apps for Glass, or Glassware.

But where Google sees a privacy problem, the enterprising developers at FacialNetwork see a great use case for an eyeglass-mounted computer like Glass. They recently launched a facial recognition app for Glass, called NameTag, in the hopes of pushing Google to change its policy. The app will also run on Android and iOS smartphones.

“Making real-time facial recognition work on Glass hasn’t been easy, but we did it. Now, the question isn’t if we will support Glass; it’s will Google support us?” FacialNetwork’s brassy CEO Kevin Alan Tussy said in a statement.

As I said, "The internet is STEALING your memory," turning your drugged-consumerist braincells to MUSH.

Thread: the internet is STEALING your memory

Good point, why retain any info when you can just wink into your glasses and get the answer immediately?

this is creepy....soon they will be able to pull up anything you ever posted online, even as anonymous and link it to you.

At some point, man's consumer-brain-mush-dementia (that collagen-based shit that fills his skull) is gonna have trouble just puttin' on his google glasses... maybe they should make a little app so that you can find them by drooling loudly for it and it whistles back at'cha so you can find where you left 'em.

LOL

Hahaha. I had to drool loudly myself when I read that!
