I don't see the AR applications even being the most interesting part of this. A private facial recognition database coupled with "this person's name and a note to self" would be immensely helpful in a lot of situations -- I have bad facial recognition (not full on face-blindness, but inconvenient) and it would be neat to be able to hack on this a little bit. This would also require a camera of some sort, but I'd rather have that not be integrated.
Possibly even "real-world closed captions".
A tap for clock/calendar function would be handy.
Morse code (or other silent, maybe subvocal?) "telepathy" would be interesting as well.
I don't know how convenient or awful these would be in reality, but if the cost were not exorbitant and you weren't locked into a proprietary app ecosphere then it definitely seems like it would be worth a shot.
- germinalphrase 7y agoNaturally, I worry about all of this facial recognition and data gathering; however, as a k12 teacher, the utility of displaying names/data about my students is immediately apparent. A great deal of time/effort is expended on assessing my students and modifying my interactions with them based on that information.
- andrewla 7y agoMy main fear here is using any sort of centralized/cloud system for any portion of this. Facial recognition against a small corpus can be done fairly easily off the shelf. Everyone wants to sell me something at a huge discount because they know that the enhancements to their own database will pay for the difference. I just want the basic version of this for my own personal use, preferably with no online use at all short of maybe encrypted backups (maybe).
