I'm honestly astounded that this works. The color camera on the Hololens is 1280x720, making it useless for most tasks. I love this device so much, but man, such a misstep. Super neat prototype though.

What "most tasks" are you referring to? Just curious since the applications of Hololens don't seem very solidified to begin with.

Looking at the picture, I love "Mustache: 0" haha

That's what caught my eye as well. Wondering if it is boolean or perhaps decimal. Mustache: 0.13

What I want to see is a .05 next to 1.0 mustache and then try to reverse engineer the criteria from there

Who on earth are you to judge what a 1.0 mustache is?

It is not my call, I defer entirely to The Machine. We can not understand its reasoning, only attempt to understand how it became what it is. Serious question on this topic though, does anybody know if this facial recognition library has been completely open sourced? Apologies if the answer is glaringly obvious or has already been answered in this thread.

Perfect, I'm looking forward to a world where everyone has their name floating above their heads like in World of Warcraft. Saves you having to remember stuff.

Link it to other information from my contacts as well.

"Hello ... Dave. How is your ... wife ... Kelly? And your ... dog?"

I want to see a "Moustache: 3".

New mustache style: "machine 1.0"

Just reading those slight pauses makes me think of Black Mirror

Well, "most tasks" here is really just the things I've wanted to do -- not exactly an unbiased sample. Things like tracking objects, reading QR codes, matching more complicated hand gestures (than the built-in ones). Unfortunately, a lot of the really interesting things that could be done involve the high-res IR cameras, which aren't exposed in any way to userspace.
