“Ever wanted to know the name and social networking history of a total stranger without having to go through the arduous task of actually talking to them? Now, with the help of Swedish mobile software firm The Astonishing Tribe‘s new phone app — Recognizr — you can!
Popsci explains how this augmented reality app works:
“…the user points the camera at a person across the room. Face 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 since and sends back the subject’s name as well as links to any social networking sites the person has provided access to.”
