Not even an exception for user-entered data.
Like, I could conceivably take photos of people I meet, store those photos along with notes in the iOS notes app (or even a contact app) then create a panel of those photos so that I can tap the right person and bring up those notes when I see them again. AR would simply make this easier and faster. Unless the AR camera was hidden it would not make it different from a privacy perspective.
- j5155 4y agoTo make things more confusing, both the iOS photos app and Google Photos automatically find faces in your photos and the other photos containing them and let you easily tag each face with the correct name. The technology to do this already exists.
- runsonrum 4y agoExactly what I was thinking.. Have the feature offline but that would require storage I suppose. Also, the tagging in photo apps were another aspect I thought of. It is ok to tag in one instance but not another.
- Aeolun 4y agoIt’s ok if they are the ones to do it. Safe old big tech. It’s not ok if these nefarious nerds with bad memories do it.
- retrac 4y ago> easier and faster That's the thing. The privacy implications are different at scale. A world of FOSS tools, where centralized ID databases are heavily restricted or banned, and people are using facial recognition technology on people they encounter in their lives and tag, that would be fairly harmless, perhaps even doing much more good than harm. But it's not going to play out like that. How many of us run speech transcription software on our own machines, and how many of us use a remote service?
