The Status Quo Of Computer Vision
prostoalex writes "The Industrial Physicist sums up the recent advances and developments in the world of computer vision. They mention an application for human-computer interfacing using a Webcam, Philips Research Lab Seeing with Sound product, which augments vision for visually impaired, as well as various frontal face detection applications."
I'd have to say computers generally have very good vision - I am yet to see one wearing a pair of glasses.
At first, the phrase "frontal face detection applications" sounded rather cumbersome. But then a shorter phrase of "facial detection applications" might have been grossly misunderstood. ;)
I only post comments when someone on the internet is wrong.

it work well since years ago. Computers running Windows often show me their blue face when I show them mine, even if their owners says that Windows is very stable and they never saw a blue screen before. Surely Windows can recognize people and do this specifically to me.

When I panic, the Linux kernel detects that and also panics. Wow, computers have had facial recognition for a long time!
Wow, Nouse is the coolest thing I've seen on slashdot in ages. Mod parent up please.
Nothing like playing games with your nose. Now I'm tempted to borrow a USB2 card for nose to nose pong!
