New App Helps People Remember Faces
Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming.Pressure to learn people's names only adds to the stress.A new facialrecognition app could come to the rescue,but privacy(隐私) experts suggest to use it with caution.
The app,called SocialRecall,connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition,potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions.“It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody,” says Barry Sandrew,who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1,000 people.
After receiving an invitation to download SocialRecall from an event organizer,the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media.At the event,the app is active within a previously defined geographical area.When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee's face,the app identifies the individual,displays the person's name,and links to his or her social media profile(简介).To protect privacy,it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate.And the app's creators say it automatically deletes users' data after an event.
Ann Cavoukian,a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app's creators for these protective measures.She cautions,however,that when people choose to share their personal information with the app,they should know that “there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you”.
The startup has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia,or “face blindness”, a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met.To use this app,a person first acquires an image of someone's face,from either the smartphone's camera or a photograph,and then tags it with a name.When the camera spots that same face in real life,the previously stored information is presented.The collected data are stored only on a user's phone,according to the team behind the app.
1.Which task can SocialRecall complete according to the text?
A.Drawing pictures. B.Organizing events.
C.Identifying people. D.Chatting with friends.
2.What does the underlined word “display” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Acquire. B.Show.
C.Export. D.Determine.
3.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.How the app works.
B.How the app was created.
C.What makes the app popular.
D.What people can do with the app.
4.How does SocialRecall help people with prosopagnosia?
A.By collecting information previously put in the phone.
B.By giving names to the photos kept in their smartphones.
C.By providing the information of a person when they first meet.
D.By showing the person's information when it spots a stored face.
