Brazilian Police To Wear Glasses That Scans Faces To Find Criminals

n technology that is lifted straight from Robocop, Brazilian cops will be outfitted with glasses that can scan faces in a crowd and automatically pick out criminals. The glasses use advanced facial recognition technology that can scan 400 faces a second at 50 yards away.

Facial profiling! The glasses scans 46,000 biometric points on a person’s face and compares it against a criminal database. When the glasses find a bad guy (it’s actually a camera attached to the glasses), a red light pops up inside the glasses and alerts the officer on what to do.

The goal is to start using these Robocop glasses in test runs at crowded events (think soccer games and concerts) so police will be familiar with the technology come 2014 (when Rio de Janeiro hosts the World Cup). A big concern about the World Cup being in Brazil was the security, and if you saw Robocop, you’ll know he handled his share of bad guys with ease. Hopefully, they can do the same!

how cool is this?! :D

Hopefully it works out fine, would be pretty cool to enhance it to further away for military use. :)

My buddy built that software....or it's grandfather and we found that a person with good makeup skills could fool it since it works on what it sees and it's perception can be skewed.

Embrace and exploit rather than worry about our overlords squashing our freedoms.
