It is for automated real time facial recognition.

Watch BBC's The Human Face presented by John Cleese and Elizabeth Hurley, it is from 2001 but it has a part on facial recognition by machines.

it might still be able to identify you but not in real time.

throw in sunglasses and a hat and facial recognition should fail, at least that was still true in 2001 when John Cleese tested facial recognition in BBC's The Human Face series by David Attenborough.

what's with the submission's titles ? This one is obviously marketing aka false. I'm using opera on linux to browse the web, how a new feature in chrome affects me ?
