Creepy new app matches pictures of strangers with their Facebook profile within seconds
A British entrepreneur claims to have created an app capable of tracking anyone down on Facebook just by analysing a picture of their face. Facezam, which plans to launch on iOS later this month, claims to scan billions of Facebook photos per second, which it accesses through a database for developers. According to its website, Facezam works with 70% accuracy, and can link an image to a Facebook account within seconds. However, that figure is said to drop to 55% when a person's face is positioned at an angle or partly covered by sunglasses, hair or a hat. The giant human-like robot bears a striking resemblance to the military robots starring in the movie'Avatar' and is claimed as a world first by its creators from a South Korean robotic company Waseda University's saxophonist robot WAS-5, developed by professor Atsuo Takanishi and Kaptain Rock playing one string light saber guitar perform jam session A man looks at an exhibit entitled'Mimus' a giant industrial robot which has been reprogrammed to interact with humans during a photocall at the new Design Museum in South Kensington, London Electrification Guru Dr. Wolfgang Ziebart talks about the electric Jaguar I-PACE concept SUV before it was unveiled before the Los Angeles Auto Show in Los Angeles, California, U.S The Jaguar I-PACE Concept car is the start of a new era for Jaguar.
