Smile! Face Recognition for Google Glass Is Here, Thanks to Hackers
Privacy weaknesses clouding Google Glass – a small heads-up display which can show emails, text messages, and take pictures or record video – have attracted the attention of regulators worldwide and, predictably, the hacker community.
Facial recognition Glass software (or “Glassware”), which Google maintains will be blocked from being installed on Glass unit, has already been developed and is usable, well ahead of Glass’s expected public launch later this year.
In a Google+ post in June, Google sent out the following reassuring message: “[W]e won’t be approving any facial recognition Glassware at this time.”
But despite this declaration, a 23-year-old American hacker recently announced facial recognition software is already possible on Glass – and he could prove it.
Stephen Balaban, co-founder of software company Lambda Labs, circumvented Google’s facial recognition app block by building his own, non-Google-approved operating system.
He then installed Glassware that scans faces and generates a summary of what that person and the Glass wearer has in common, such as mutual friends and interests.
