FaceUp is an android app developed to connect with the Vuzix Blade wearable smart display and utilize pseudo facial recognition technology for a multitude of impact applications in a wide range of fields. By connecting to the Vuzix Blade's wearable camera, the software detects a person's face, and compares it to a stored library of faces to identify the person that is present in the shot. Currently, the app hosts a small collection of faces and is able to distinguish between three different faces by comparing them to stored images. Although only a simple proof of concept, the app is able to demonstrate the massive potential of facial regognition technology in a small, compact, and wearable device with key impacts that can significantly change the way people approach certain tasks in enterprise, security, exclusive events, emergency and critical conditions, medical, and many more environments. Furthermore, some examples of potential uses include recognizing family and friends for dementia patients and blind individuals, recognizing registered individuals at large events, being alerted of persons of interest in security situations such as an airport or a border crossing, patient profiles for doctors, and much more. As facial recognition technology begins to progress further, the potential for its applications with wearable technology will only grow larger and create more impactful changes.
