Facial Recognition Coming to Android
The Astonishing Tribe aka TAT is working on Recognizr an application for Android that would allow a user to snap a quick picture of someone and instantly be linked to their social networking accounts. Now I’m all for social networking, in fact I’ve met some very good friends via different social networks Facebook and Twitter for example. But for a complete stranger to be able to snap a picture of me on the street and find out everything about me or view my pictures and videos on YouTube, Flickr or Picasa is a little disturbing. Where does networking end and stalking begin?
Dan Gärdenfors, head of user experience research at TAT said:
“It’s taking social networking to the next level.” “We thought the idea of bridging the way people used to meet, in the real world, and the new Internet-based ways of congregating would be really interesting.”
