Face recognition

A system that identifies faces for you. Augments your memory for faces.
The wearable carries around a camera which locates and identifies faces. As soon as it recognizes a face, it displays the name of the person on a screen in front of your eyes. If you're unsure of the person's name or have forgotten it, this can be very useful. The information should be presented unobtrusively, so that if you don't need it, it doesn't interrupt you, and also so that the people around you aren't constantly reminded of your augmented powers!
