Forbes: SceneTap Wants To One Day Tell You The Weights, Heights, Races and Income Levels Of The Crowd At Every Bar
An excerpt:
"The patent application, available below, includes other possibilities usually left to the realm of dystopic fiction, including putting microphones in the cameras that could detect what customers are saying, and using facial recognition technology to identify customers and then get information about them from social networking websites and databases to determine “relationship status, intelligence, education and income for the entire venue.”
Again imagining the app version of this: “This bar is 72% full. The average income for the 43 males at the bar is $85,000/year. The average income for the 28 females is $92,000/year. 14% of this crowd is ‘In a relationship,’ and for 4%, ‘It’s complicated.’ One woman here has a history of cheating.” Fingers crossed, there will one day be a database of STDs that can be mixed in here as well."
End Excerpt.
Seriously. WTF. Dystopian scenarios should lead to escapes like binge drinking but these motherberkeleyers even have a dystopic solution to escaping dystopia. Can't a Prole just get E36 M3faced and score some Bob Costas in peace?

There should also be 22 Single Eligible not Its Complicated not chronic cheater women in there but 43:28 is bad odds.

It's not even realistic odds. 43 men in a bar with an average salary of 85 grand would have golddiggers for miles out in force. More realistic is 43:65 but only 28 aren't interested in your paycheck.

43 men in one bar should just be labeled:
I think someone missed the point of socializing.
If you don't like this you really won't like the RFID credit cards, private facial recognition/ALPR and in-store WiFi/GSM tracking (and sometimes interception) that are already in use.

I do not like it. I feel like it should be everyone's duty to wear a disguise and foil cameras wherever they find them. I do have a hard time picking up chicks while wearing a Scream mask so maybe I need to re-think that part. But smearing vaseline on camera lenses is a 100% appropriate response to pointing one at me. Even if I have to use a slingshot to reach it.
I agree but I just suggest you start working on your computer-confusing face paint now:
