> "I've generated some highlights of tonight's dinner party. Would you like to see them?" a prompt from the system says, alongside various thumbnails of what look like people laughing, according to one illustration in the patent. One section says the system may personalize highlight files using "user relationship data." The illustrations clearly show a person wearing a pair of glasses, looking at a group of people, then the glasses focusing on one or more people in particular.

> [2]Patentlyze , an organization that tracks patents, first alerted 404 Media to the patent on Friday. The [3]patent is dense with how such a system would work, but in sum, the system with one or more cameras receives an input from the user, then uses machine-learning and "sensory data" to figure out points of interest in the camera's field of view. That can include detecting people in the shot "based on one or more facial recognition algorithms," identifying those specific people, detecting their facial expressions, using "eye gaze data of the user captured by the client system," and figuring out other points of interest "based on scene and semantic understanding."

> Although the patent is for "particular camera-based tasks by particular systems in a particular manner" -- in this case, the company's smart glasses -- Meta writes it "contemplates assisting users in any suitable camera-based task by any suitable system in any suitable manner." Meaning that although this technology is focused on the glasses, maybe the company will use it for other purposes in the future.

It shouldn't matter, the people that insist on wearing these to parties either don't get invited, or it's the sort of party where everyone is wearing them.

It's accurate if you realize that "dinner party" is a code phrase for ICE operations where anyone, citizen or not, can be identified at a scene and be held incommunicado by masked goons in an undisclosed location. Because face recognition is infallible and being in public minding your own business is obviously a criminal act under the current regime.

"People who want to be filmed at a dinner party" I guess. It's certainly a fantastical notion

Instead of displaying a pop-up panel about whatever one looks at, it will tell the wearer where to look: Nipples, big breasts, rounded arses, legal and illegal drugs. In the USA, also getting eyeball engagement will be celebrities (admire) and black men (fear).
How about you just fuck right off? (Score:3)
If I find out somebody is using wearables to archive anything that includes me without my direct permission at a dinner party I attend - video, audio, or stills - it'll be the last time I ever speak to them.
Almost precisely nothing that happens at these sorts of things needs to be preserved - in fact, it should specifically be fleeting. Experienced, then gone. This desire to preserve everything is a sickness.

I agree. The person had better get explicit permission from everyone present and be prepared to remove the wearable or prepare for the consequences.
