Reasoning: from what I have seen, face recognition isn’t great, but it is good. You could have a database carried on your person with a few thousand people, including some you haven’t met but only have a dozen or so pictures, such as from a high school yearbook, a newspaper article, various sources, which can reliably identify a person. Then that person can be linked to notes, so that if you see someone you met for the first time at your high school reunion, then see her again later in another context, you can have this device remind you of where you met the person and what you discussed.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://singularityhub.com/2014/01/12/facial-recognition-app-for-glass-challenges-googles-ban-on-the-technology/">http://singularityhub.com/2014/01/12/facial-recognition-app-for-glass-challenges-googles-ban-on-the-technology/</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you are the first kid on the block to have this, especially if you can have it to where no one notices it, such as disguised as a broach or in a hat or inside a button or something, with a Bluetooth connection to a cell phone with Bluetooth to an earpiece, any yahoo can pretend to be a real people person. I don’t know that I would want to do that. Hmmm, understatement, I do know that I do not want to do that. But others might. So I could build it and sell it to them, make a buttload of money. <span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>So henceforth, if we encounter a person who seems to remember everything about a chance encounter in the past, they may not be a warm fuzzy caring genius, they might be phony as a three dollar bill, just a regular guy using stealth face recognition tech, a hidden Bluetooth device in the ear, the cell phone in their pocket for memory and processing, pretending to be something they are not. I won’t do it, for I am not really a people person; I am more of a machine person, hoping to someday become a machine machine. But there are those who might pay money for something like this.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>spike<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
