Something they talk about a lot on the Vergecast (weekly podcast from The Verge) is that the killer app for AR is identifying people in real life for you. I think that's probably true for a lot of people who have to have a lot of professional in-person interactions with a lot of different people - which importantly includes journalists. They semi-jokingly talk about how they'd forgive many misgivings about a product that could reliably do that. And Facebook seems to be in by far the best position to have the data to build that product, as long as they hang on to their facial recognition data set somewhere.

I am TERRIBLE with faces. Like confuse-my-uncle-with-my-father bad, and i really don't see this feature being great. Like, will i really look for a notification over everyones head telling me there name? Will i have to populate it from my contact book? Will contacts give me their photo?
