Dear listers I was approached by a company who are creating a facial recognition app for Glass and who are able to provide loan pairs of Glass running their beta software over the next couple of months. They are in the UK and would prefer UK blind or VI users to help, but would consider further afield too if needs be. If you are interested please reply to me off-list and I’ll put you in touch with them. Here is the blurb they have provided about the project:
‘iCanSee’ is a face recognition app for Google Glass that notifies a user when an individual from a user's database appears in the visual range of the camera. This could be particularly useful for people attending meetings at work (to know who is in the meeting), going for a networking event, party or even recognizing their friends and loved ones on the street etc. We are looking for a group of potential early adopters of this technology, who are visually impaired or blind who would be interested to take part in consultations about the feasibility of this product, features they would like or even potentially participating in trials - testing the prototype version of this app for a period of time.
