He mentions some smart glasses in that video, but says it kinda quickly and I can't ID them. Anyone know what they are? As a blind developer myself, I've pretty much been wanting to build this kind of app for a while. Even if facial recognition may not be good enough to identify someone accurately by name, for instance, just hearing "face, blue eyes, blond hair, male, 80% confidence" or something similar would give me a bunch of additional data points to identify someone when they say hello. I don't even know what color my own girlfriend's hair/eyes are. :P I'd love a set of these to develop my own apps with.

But this appears to blow all my ideas out of the water. I wonder how much work they had to do to obtain clean input (I.e. how many mis-identifications we didn't see.)

Edit: Ah, I guess it's these: http://www.pivothead.com/. SDK and dev kit pricing not available unless I fork over my details. If I have to ask how much it costs, I can't afford it.

I watched that a few times, thanks for the share. Beautiful use of technology.

I want this app! I guess it's still a research project though.
