By this point, we're all familiar with augmented reality, but Swedish mobile software firm The Astonishing Tribe is taking information overload to the next logical step: augmented identity. Mashing up face recognition technology, computer vision, cloud computing, and augmented reality with the complex digital lives many of us lead on the Internet, TAT has created an app that allows you to gather information on a person and their social networking life simply by pointing your camera phone at their face.
The software even takes note of the position of the person's head within your field of view, popping up icon links to the subject's social sites around his or her head without obscuring the strikingly lovely features that caught your attention in the first place.
It is an 'opt-in' system, so only those who want to be identified will be.
And I have to add that if you have put a full frontal, easily recognizable photo of yourself on a social networking site, what would you have to complain about? You have already voluntarily given up your right to privacy.
