Google Glass Couldn't Get Creepier:Strangers to ID You Just by Looking at you!

[OneSent]

Damn, this is one step closer to pre-crime!

The porn potential still beats this, just saying :P

James Deen thought the same thing and apparently released the first porno scene using Goggle Glass!

Here's an article about it: (doesn't contain the actual scene, but the YouTube video could be NSFW)

I feel like it'd be a really entertaining app. I don't love the thought of people being able to search for me, but I don't have much online and I'd imagine most of my fellow students don't either so there's a real limit to its usefulness.

If you don't have much online, it wouldn't much to show. Right?

[Kraenen]

Google search image still works like crap, and this app will be just as bad.

Computers still have an impossible time recognizing images and making logical decisions with them. That's why you still see character and image questions after you fail a password.

no, machine learning is getting incredibly advanced.

But rape and stalking of a random fellow human, in the ways of meticiolous planning based on adresses and names.. is fesible?

Of course it is.

Of course it is.

Must be the KGB, really. It's all a conspiracy.

Not enough to actually validify any form of fear. If someone stalks you - send a restrain order.

Haha well I hope you never get stalked because man are you unprepared for it!

What am I saying you're probably a stalker.

I've been stalked before by delusional types whom you WOULD have right to yield fear for.

And i can tell you - Your fears are not verified in reality. Why would a random person, who probably does not know you - meticilously plan around your adress etc. etc. For w/e dark purpose?

It's practically unfeasible, and the person lacks any reason. + Statistics are in favor of my argument (ppl whom are known to you, usually assault you one way or the other). So, really - If i'm a stalker, you're trembling in your boots as soon as anyone looks at you.

[Tierbook]

Of course it is.

It's easier to hurt a person when you know nothing about them. If a rapist wants to learn the name of whoever he is stalking then whether he has these or not is not going to stop him.

[Incredibale]

If you don't like being ID'd by anyone at a moment's notice without your consent, you're a racist /s

I can't say this really bothers me.

So many inappropiate jokes springing to mind from this.

Bring back the Masquerade!

Paper faces on parade?

[NuLogic]

Unless you posted a crap ton of personal info online I doubt it will be too accurate.

Paper faces on Socialy established masks?

DECEPTION. (c wat i did thare?)

Despite the fact that Einstein never said it, I find this quotation increasingly apt;

"I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots."

Can't see myself or many other people investing in this Google Glass thing in any case. Reminds me of the Virtual Boy craze.

[Eats Compost]

How is this in any way an invasion of privacy?

It's connecting your publicly-visible appearance to your publicly-posted data on the Internet. If you find it freaky how much of your personal information is so easily obtainable on the Internet, then the issue is that you don't understand how much you've made public. There's no invasion of privacy, since none of this information is private.

Hit the nail on the head. This app isn't pulling any information that isn't already out there.

No one said that. This will just make it easier, or make someone who might not do something stupid, do something stupid.
Maybe it's easier for you to hurt someone you know nothing about but not everyone is the same, and I don't think you have the mind of a stalker, I could be wrong.
