Re: Face.com API Alternative Beta Sign-Up
#2I know a lot of people who will be shocked by the announcement that Face.com will be closing their API. If anything, it was amazingly easy to hack a project together with face.com, not to mention it's academic state-of-the-art recognition.
We've been working on this alternative internally for some time. While it's still a private beta, we hope one day to provide the same level of service that Face.com did.

Open Source it otherwise I would believe you would just sell yourself to Google or Apple too.

To be perfectly honest, I sometimes wonder if the end goal of these acquisitions is to simply to acquihire all remaining talent in this space: PittPat (Google), polar rose (Apple), face.com (Facebook), etc.

#5Do you have any intention of open-sourcing this project?
Re: Face.com API Alternative Beta Sign-Up
#6Is there really a project here? Or are you just gauging interest in the wake of the face.com acquisition? According to whois this domain was created only a few days ago.

#7(I'm not Lambda Labs) I'm interested in perhaps making my face recognition and 3D reconstruction API more freely available. I've got a system that goes quite a bit past simple recognition - I'm able to identify facial features to a much higher precision than the publicly available APIs, as well as reconstruct a person from a photo, in photo-realistic 3D. Interested parties can visit www.cg-general-store.com/Auto-3D-Heads and/or email through my profile here.

Pro tip: the 'email' field is not publicly visible on HN, if you want to publish your email here add it to your 'about' field. Stupid UI, I know.

Gah, not every product on the planet needs to be open source.
