Umm - yet another poorly thought out idea
Wasn't there previous work on facial recognition that couldn't tell the difference between monkeys and people, so how accurate will this be ?
What stops someone holding up a picture in front of the camera - that always works
What about people who do not have webcams ?
What about those who consume the content with the lights off ?
Will there be a requirement to keep the video feed active whilst, er. consuming the services
As video processing takes time, will there be a need to upload the pictures - can't see an issue with a big mugshot database, it could be called the book of faces ...
Strikes me that someone may be going off half-cocked on their ideas again ..
