Ever wanted to learn more than you probably ever really should about that random person you just met 2 seconds ago? With the upcoming “Recognizr” app for iPhone and Android this dream is now (augmented) reality. The Astonishing Tribe is attempting to mash up face recognition technology, computer vision, cloud computing, social networking and augmented reality into the world of Augmented Identity.
The app essentially works like this: the user points the camera at a person across the room. Facial recognition software creates a 3-D model of the person’s mug and sends it across a server where it’s matched with an identity in the database. A cloud server conducts the facial recognition and sends back the subject’s name as well as links to any social networking sites the person has provided access to. Voila.
Note: Prediction becomes a reality http://gspdigital.com/?p=715 . This app requires a user to opt in to the service in order to be recognized.
