Face Recognition

Filed Under Software 

I’ve always been fascinated with software that can recognize faces. Seems creepy. The newer Logitech webcams can superimpose 3d avatars over your face, or add accessories like glasses or moustaches. Needless to say, Google acquired the company that licensed the technology to Logitech…

I found a website, My Heritage, that will allow you to upload a picture of yourself and find celebrities that look like you. I found an old picture of myself with a screwed up face and bed head to test it out. I’m pretty happy with the results, thought the celebrities may not be flattered!

Maybe I should call these guys up and start a band.

Update: Bonnie’s celebrity matches!

Bonnie’s top match was actually James Spader, but I didn’t include him in the collage ;)

    Awww…. you could’ve included James Spader. Maybe I’m his twin (separated at birth) & he’ll give us some $$$! Not likely. At least he could introduce us to Captain Kirk of the Starship Enterprise!
