Google may not like it, but facial recognition is coming soon to Glass
- lnanek2 13y agoI wrote an open source face recognition demo here for Google Glass if anyone is interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1aeMJY1AO0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1aeMJY1AO0 https://github.com/lnanek/MedRefGlass https://github.com/lnanek/MedRefGlass It doesn't use lambda labs since they weren't out yet, but it is just as easy to use other APIs anyway.
- openbr 13y agoYou could easily make it completely opensource and standalone by replacing the calls to web-based api's like lambda or betaface, with the standalone face recognition engine from openbiometrics.org https://github.com/biometrics/openbr https://github.com/biometrics/openbr
- hayksaakian 13y agoThey've said on twitter that glass is deliberately left open / unlocked.
- yalogin 13y agoIf they don't like it its only because they want to be the only ones doing it. Seriously facial recognition is the one big technology useful on the glass and Google knows that and probably developed a lot for the glass itself.
- ippisl 13y agoAfter the current NSA scandal, is there any chance for wide adoption of a wearable mass spying device ?
- uh_oh 13y agoYes. Just ensure that the glasses always show an LED when recording, one that can't be controlled by software drivers.
- ippisl 13y agoAnd what if if stand a few meters from a google glass user and don't see the led?
- Retric 13y agoYou can easily pick out the recording LED on camera equipment from 30m so that's not really an issue. The bigger problem is simply not noticing once glass becomes even slightly popular.
- jamesaguilar 13y agoOr what if said glass user has heard of electrical tape?
- ippisl 13y agoOr even a bit of paint, done nicely.
- HorizonXP 13y agoHeh, I met this guy last week at a party. Small world when you're in the Bay Area I suppose.
