Augmented Reality is Here!

Sweden based company TAT, recently introduced their beta product called Recognizr. The application, will combine Augmented reality and Face recognition technology and connect it into social network. Sure that face recognition technology ain’t new, the Law Enforcement agency in developed country such as the UK and the US already used it for quite some times, but the thought of having it in your mobile device is a new concept.

The picture shown above should give you some ideas on how it works. Basically you will need your phone’s camera to identify the person’s face then the software will match the picture to a database, when it found a match it will show you you that person’s social network account, from facebook,twitter, etc.

There’s a debate going on about whether this app can invade your privacy, but you shouldn’t worry about that, cause in their business model TAT shows that people who wants their face matched using this app,should register themselves first on TAT systems. So it’s up to you now… do you want your face easily recognized by others? wait until the final version app comes out for you to try.

Meanwhile, let’s watch videos on how this will actually work
