Remember Real Player? Now it wants to help you ID actors

If you remember being online in the late 1990s, then you recall when playing a video in those pre-YouTube days. Cut to today, and Real, which has been relatively quiet over the last decade, is back with what it says is its latest video viewing innovation: a facial recognition tool that can identity well-known people who appear in a video. This time around, the tool is via an extension for the Chrome browser, and a new updated media player, Real 20/20. The extension is available for Windows and Apple computers, but the player is Windows only. The extension, "StarSearch by Real," identifies celebrities streaming on YouTube and Netflix.
