It would be interesting to see if it's possible to recognize people in films. I'm not sure if it's much harder or not. In a way, a video is more complicated than an image, but you have way more data to recognize a face. Someone know if there is any work in that direction?

A plugin for vlc that can show you the name of any actor when you ask would be really fun!

Google Play has already had this for a little while: http://ccm.net/faq/30199-google-play-movies-tv-now-integrate...

It's pretty trivial since you know the actors in the movie and can do the face recognition for the people on screen using the existing methods when the video is paused, but still quite neat to see it happen.
