Let’s not jump to conclusions here based on assumptions and ignorance. What is likely being shared is a generic wireframe with pose and expression information. Not a face fingerprint as some are breathlessly calling it.
- zeep 9y agoa precise wireframe could be as precise as a fingerprint... If it has a very high mesh count, it is just a high resolution 3D model of your face... much more information then what is required to face-id you look at this model for example, it has medium amount of mesh: http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/279553/108981035/stock-photo-high-resolution-concept-or-conceptual-d-wireframe-human-male-head-isolated-on-black-background-as-108981035.jpg http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/279553/1...
- adjkant 9y agoNot sure why this is being downed. I haven't looked into the details of this case, but the more detailed the wireframe mesh the faces are being fit to, the more possibilities there are, and the lower the likelihood of collisions between two people. Think of it as a hashmap with the number of buckets being determined by the mesh quality. At a certain point, a few collisions won't hinder apps from capitalizing on the information.
