Two technologies that are getting a lot of coverage these days are augmented reality (applications that display a layer of information over a live camera image) and facial recognition (have you seen Project Natal?). This concept application combines both of them in a slightly creepy but very clever way. A user of the application can set up various bits of data and social network accounts to themselves,which other people can then pull up by just using your smartphone’s camera with the applicationĀ to capture the person. It sounds weird when I describe it,but just watch the video and it will all be clear. (Found on Gizmodo)
