I watched the video and... well it's crazy how this is finally here! Obviously all the pieces are available to do this, but at near real-time!? Crazy. This is quite literally why I try to reduce any data that could fingerprint me. Random usernames, no profile pictures, limit posting portraits publicly online (myself and others), etc.

This is fantastic engineering work putting it all together. We have made it to the privacy peak.

The hilarious thing for me was that on a very recent episode of the VergeCast Nilay Patel was saying the killer app for smart glasses was gonna be virtual nametags.

Well, this is certainly one large step towards that.
