Perfect, I'm looking forward to a world where everyone has their name floating above their heads like in World of Warcraft. Saves you having to remember stuff.
This detects a face and displays the attributes it calculated about it. That's pretty interesting though from the title I thought it was something that looked up people and displayed their name, etc.<p>Pretty cool though ultimately it just takes the Halo Lens input, sends it to the Microsoft Face API[1] and displays its results.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/cognitive-services/en-us/face-api" rel="nofollow">https://www.microsoft.com/cognitive-services/en-us/face-api</a>
I wonder if any of the researchers evaluate the ethical decisions behind this. Right now it looks naive.<p>We have a president who is very anti-muslim and Pro-surveillance. What if this falls in the wrong hands? What if it classifies the wrong person?<p>Snapchat filters are already racist with dark color tones.<p>I'm arguing that widespread use of advanced facial recognition will be detrimental to society.
I'm honestly astounded that this works. The color camera on the Hololens is 1280x720, making it useless for most tasks. I love this device so much, but man, such a misstep.<p>Super neat prototype though.
<sarcasm>Yes, I'm glad people panicked about Google Glass possibly allowing for this, but by the time Hololens gets to try it, it's inevitable and cannot be stopped.</sarcasm>
