Development of Face Recognition Programs Abroad to Find Out on Strangers [Full Text]
**Technology Trends**
With the rapid development of technology and the growing influence of social media, personal privacy is becoming increasingly vulnerable. According to a report by Taiwan’s *Apple Daily* on January 10th, a mobile app called NameTag has introduced a facial recognition feature that can instantly compare photos with platforms like Facebook to identify individuals—even in public settings. The app even has the capability to connect to criminal databases, allowing users to uncover details about people they encounter.
Developing face recognition programs abroad to find out about strangers has become a growing trend. According to reports, NameTag can wirelessly send photos to FacialNetwork’s servers, a software company that specializes in facial recognition. By cross-referencing these images with public data from social networks, the app can return information such as names, job titles, and contact details, along with additional photos. FacialNetwork also partners with dating sites, meaning if someone appears in a photo and has an online profile, their details can be retrieved as well.
Duci, the founder of FacialNetwork, believes the app will help singles connect more easily. “If you can look at the other person’s Facebook or online profiles, it becomes easier to find interesting new friends,†he said. In the U.S., NameTag can compare photos with over 450,000 records in the national database related to sexual assault, making it a powerful tool for safety and identification.
Currently, NameTag is available for Google Glass trials, with iOS and Android versions expected soon. However, Google has chosen not to include the most critical facial recognition feature on its devices due to privacy concerns.
The report highlights that the biggest concern surrounding this app is the potential violation of privacy. While NameTag uses publicly available information, many people are uncomfortable with being photographed and identified without consent. Duci has stated that the future version of the website will allow users to opt out of having their names and personal information displayed.
As facial recognition technology continues to evolve, it raises important questions about how much we’re willing to sacrifice for convenience and connection. Whether it's for dating, security, or curiosity, the line between innovation and intrusion is becoming harder to define.
