Man I hate captchas!

Transparent human detection could be achieved with face-detection in a webcam with controls to ensure the stream is live.

Face detection is a solved problem, and accessing webcams from a browser is solved. http://www.merl.com/projects/FaceRecognition/ http://youtube.com/my_videos_upload

If I weren't busy with another idea, I would suggest someone work on this. It could also be used for a secure login if done with face recognition, which is fast maturing.

I'm curious: why was I modded down? I'd love to hear what is wrong with this idea.

But for the record I wasn't the one who downmodded you.
