Super Face Scanning Software

Sunday April 1, 2012

(This is not an April Fools thing). From Gizmodo:

Here's a pleasant first little look at Skynet—Face.com, which develops facial recognition software, now boasts that it can pinpoint your age based on your mug alone. Let's test it out.

The software is meant for developers to use in their apps—say, a browser extension that would block certain sites when kids were on the computer. Sure it's a little eery to think a computer can know us so well, but, God, get over it. And as it turns out, it's still pretty rough around the edges.


So I tried it out (direct link here) with these pictures:



And here are the results I got:

Bearded Me:
Estimated Age: 31
Max Age: 42
Min Age: 23
Gender: Male
Glasses: true
Lips: Sealed
Mood: Happy
Smiling: false

Clean Shaven Me:
Estimated Age: 24
Max Age: 32
Min Age: 19
Gender: Male
Glasses: true
Lips: Sealed
Mood: Neutral
Smiling: false

So the natural conclusion is that I look older with facial hair. Not bad! I was 25 at the time I took the photos so it looks like the age estimation stuff isn't too bad. At least for me. What are some of your results?

What? beard

Change

Friday July 15, 2011

So for the past three or so weeks, I've tried growing my facial hair out, just as an experiment to see if I can grow a decent beard - which everyone knows, is vital to a person's programming ability. It's been received well at work; best compliment was from Dale ("Woah JLai, you look like you're 25 years old"). My parents were a bit shocked to see me unshaven though. I don't know how long I'll keep it. It's getting a bit itchy and long, and I will need to trim it to stop it looking gross.

Work is going well. Still busy. Thanks to this article, I can say I'm on the team working on the "social smartphone game". Whoo.

Portal 2 is going well. I'm in this large underground cavern with water and large broken spherical objects, and a tower with stairs leading to the top. The game is clever and humourous, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

Final Fantasy X is also progressing. I've just finished Bevelle and I'm rolling around the Calm Lands now. Eventually I'll have to do the stupid Chocobo Racing...and those butterflies...and blitzball. Blerg.

Oh yeah. I'm on Google+.
