#2Masks and temporary/permanent face altering techniques will explode as this technology takes hold. I think about it like ad-blocking, something that may work itself into the mainstream despite it's questionable ethics.

If the technology just stayed at facial recognition, maybe - I work on stereoscopic vision, so you'd have to change your head geometry too for my cameras if you're in parallax range..... and we're getting to the point of being able to do realtime skeletal pose analysis -- https://storage.googleapis.com/tfjs-models/demos/posenet/cam...
So, it's an arms race :-/

The sci-fi cyberpunk genre might have accidentally/accurately predicted this trend. The artwork makes heavy use of face/head mods and accessories.

#6Many forms of privacy will disappear but these are all modern creations anyway. Think of how a small tribe use to behave. Was there anything that was private in a small community? Would a criminal also too be instantly spotted in the local lodge as the bard plays his tunes?

Egad Batman! Thanks for the background - how would one change their head geometry? Would a prosthetic nose, or subdermal implants serve this purpose?

I'm glad you commented. My original commented mentioned how I thought the fashion industry might take this on. Both as a way to generate new revenue, but also a way to stay "cutting edge" aka trendy.
It's one thing to wear a "face mod" because you're paranoid - it's quite another to wear one because your favorite celebrity does.

sadly the text only version links to the home page not the article, which is odd since one can guess the url from the link -> https://text.npr.org/s.php?sId=613692526

Yep. And it's super cyberpunk.
