Yes, I'm going to be that guy, but Google showed off face "detection" (not recognition) at Google IO, and in my opinion, in a fairly cool way.
Sorry that I actually read the source material (or is it merely that I implied that it's not some god send from Apple). The only conclusion that is supported by the literature, source tweets, or "revealed" API functions... indicate "facial detection". Not recognition as commenters here or the TC article imply. Maybe someone else has info they're not sharing with me.
Downvote away, feel free to actually indicate where this is new from information that was known or anything that supports the "facial [recognition]" that we're all speculating about. What a joke.
- ugh 15y agoIt’s an article about a new feature in iOS. It’s factually wrong and awful but it doesn’t claim anywhere that the face detection is revolutionary. What was your goal by bringing Android into this? That can only result in unproductive discussions and it’s also kinda irrelevant.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoBecause the reaction to this on HN is like most other things Apple announces after others already have, and as often is the case (and not helped by the article) it misattributes magical features that aren't even in the feature being discussed. I guess I should've just kept my groaning to myself.
- ugh 15y agoYou might be a victim of confirmation bias. Not everything should be seen from the Google vs. Apple angle.

- Geee 15y agoIt's nothing new. Face detection, recognition and real-time tracking was demoed a year ago on the N900, so it's certainly possible: http://personalpages.manchester.ac.uk/staff/philip.tresadern/proj_facerec.htm http://personalpages.manchester.ac.uk/staff/philip.tresadern...
