Somebody's watching me.
Paranoia seems to be a bit big in Japan. Especially involving the internet. They are extremely hesitant to put things on places like Youtube, lest they be recognized by a facial recognition software that pins them to one or another misdemeanor.
The question is not whether or not they have the software, they do. A company, Omron, prides themselves on their facial recognition software. A elite software which is simple as walking into the building. That is all you have to do to get past security for the day. No card keys or finger print scans needed any more. This system runs on a video feed and determines a persons identity via their facial features. It calculates how far apart their eyes are, the exact positioning of a mouth, or a ten point ear analysis. They say that this software is to help establishments determine when a VIP or blacklisted member walk through the door and how to appropriately deal with them.
To me it sounds like something every pachinko place will have in the near future in order to stay on top of their loaded patrons and squeeze more coin of them.
But with technology like this, it keeps people on their toes in constant fear of Skynet or something. And as such, they are afraid to see their own selves on Youtube.
