1) I don't feel like this is an invasion of privacy, as they said in the article, it could help people with disabilities who are unable to sense people's emotions. Everything the Glass senses is based on estimation and honestly any normal person could guess as well. The gender should be obvious to you and the age on the glass in the example was 25 +/-9, so the person could of been anywhere between 16-34, real accurate. I think it's a really cool idea that's just not very practical.
1.) This article is about the new Google glasses being able to read peoples emotions just by looking at someone using an app form Fraunhofer. The glasses can tell whether you are happy / sad / angry / or surprised. The images you take can be saved on the Google glasses and specifically not on the cloud, so that no information you take on it if recorded to the internet. I do think this is an invasion of ones privacy, I think this should be used for purposes such as figuring out of someone has autism or not, but this app should not be public by any means.
This article focuses mostly on Google's new addition to their Glass hardware. It includes a program which can now find emotion by looking at a person, as well as guessing age and gender.
I don't view the software as any sort of invasion of privacy, as the software relies solely on what the person makes visible to society. Individuals may guess exactly what the Glass can now guess, only now the machine can estimate it as well.
I don't view it as anything really significant as of now. It's another feature Google has created that is sort of cool, but unnecessary. If they do use it for something useful- like seeing how consumers react to a product or things like that, it then becomes an invasion of privacy and would be widely frowned upon. I just don't see any practical application for this new discovery.
1. This article describes a new app for Google glass. This app uses its camera to tell the emotion and age of an individual. It's still an experimental app and is not yet released. The app can tell if your sad, angry, happy, surprised. They say it could help autistic kids because they can't tell peoples emotions.
2. I don't believe that this is an invasion of privacy. The reason being is because everyone walks out and is already seen for the age and emotions exhibited them. This app just makes it easier to see your age and emotions.
3. I think this is an interesting app but everyone has their own two eyes. I think its sad that someone can't tell someone else's age and emotional status. Overall I think its useless but an interesting idea.
Do you think this is a invasion of one's privacy? This does not invade privacy at all and is pretty useless. The human mind is way better at guessing age, emotion, and other aspects of the people around you. We are already recorded by thousands of security cameras every day, one more won't matter. This product is pointless. For example, the computer says that the person is happy. Just one solid plain statement. However a real person could tell you that the smile is over-exaggerated, fake, and insincere. Our minds pick up on little details that a computer could not.
How do you feel about this personally? I personally hate Google Glass for consumers as a whole. It directly interrupts face-to-face conversations and puts a barrier between you and the world. It is unprofessional and promotes a detached, escapist personality. If you require a digital device to be accessible at an instant, get a smart watch. Google Glass is inefficient, overpriced, and underpowered
1. The article is about this soon to be new app for the google glass that uses facial recognition on the google glass camera to detect peoples emotions, age and gender.
2. It's possible that people might be uncomfortable with the idea that people can get such detailed information on you by just looking at you. And possible gathering of information might be scary to some as well.
3. I think this is really cool, if it would really work. But I don't think it would really work. It seemed to just read the face value of a persons face, which would almost never be accurate.
This article talks about the developer possibility that exist with Google glass. The issue in this article is privacy. With this application people are able to invade others people "bubble" without the person even being remotely aware of it. Even in the earliest of the apps stage, peoples emotions can be estimated. But the real scary part is the possibility late for someone to just take a quick snap of your face and pull up for example a social media page and for pages of info being loaded in seconds.
Personally i feel that this is a huge invasion of privacy, but unfortunately this is where tech is going for the future.
1) This is about how Google is adding an app to their Google Glass that will analyze people and give the Google Glass user the details of a person's age, gender, and emotions. 2) I definitely think this is an invasion of privacy. If someone wants to let you know what they are feeling, they will tell you. They will make their emotions obvious if they want you to know if they are happy or sad. Age is also a form of privacy that some people want to keep a secret. 3) Personally, I would not engage in a conversation with someone if they were using an app on Google Glass to read my emotions. I would feel creeped-out and uncomfortable. To think that there is an app telling them how I'm feeling would make me feel weird and annoyed. I would not use this app when talking with someone and I would not want to talk to someone who is wearing Google Glass and using this app.
1. This article describes an application that has been developed for Google Glass. This application uses extensive and accurate algorithms that determine a persons mood by analyzing facial expressions.
2. I do not think this is an evasion of privacy, because we can already determine one's mood by looking at them with our own eyes. As long as the person knows that they are being monitored by technology (wearing the glasses is enough to clue), it is not an evasion of privacy.
3. I personally think this is really cool. We are developing applications that make our lives easier and more attractive. Although the application requires much more development and debugging, it could have a high potential in foreign relations, national security, and recreational use.
1) A German institute is researching and developing a Google Glass app that can detect a person's current mood and even try to guess their sex and age! The app wont have to connect to the internet to save images to the Cloud, and then read them, it will purely read them by face detection without internet connection.
2) I don't exactly think this is an invasion on one's privacy, I see it as some sort of gag app, almost like the apps that try to make up what you will look like when you're older. If this ever comes to see the light of day, people may use it to say things like "I know what you're feeling like right now!" and joke around. There's nothing really to invade on one's privacy with an app like this.
3) I think this will be a cool idea to have in the near future! It seems like a simple app, and very interesting to use. I could see an app like this on the Google Glass slowly evolve into a new ones and eventually create something entirely unique, but using the same concept.
1.a German university is making an app that can try to detect a persons mood gender and age.it supposed to run of the cpu on the Google glass so it will remain working even if glass is not connected to the cloud. also because of it not being connected to the cloud its more secure.
I don't think this constitutes an invasion of ones privacy. the app doesn't tell you anything but what the person has written on there face. Its not like its some secret that a person is mad or sad there facial expressions give that away. this is just another way of detecting those.
I honestly think that this is a very cool idea. I think it could greatly help people wit autism and other disorders learn to fit in easier. it is also a very cool project. I do however I think that it will be very buggy due to the fact that it will have to read such a varying degree of facial structure.
1. The article describes how Google Glass will have apps available that will be able to accurately track human body features to determine emotion, as well as detect faces and more.
2. As long as the facial/name recognition isn't automatic and only applies to people you know, this is fine. It doesn't give you any personal information that you wouldn't already be able to obtain just by looking at them. It does sort-of dehumanize the whole concept of people feeling emotions, however...
3. As stated in the previous question, this really dehumanizes the whole concept of emotions. Traditionally, when someone was feeling happy, sad, confused ect, you would ask them about it, have them tell you about it, and then, based on your own judgements, determine how you would handle the situation.
