    Thinking of that article about Deepfake porn the other day probably real-time nude body overlays for everyone you meet. Can’t think of a serious application that is actually useful enough for people to want this.

      You don’t think that’s a good enough reason?

      I really want it just for my crippling propsagnosia. Having something be able to tell me that A. I know this person, and B. What their name is could really give me a leg up with trying to integrate into society.

        Your problem is certainly one that would be enough for niche success of the technology but not the kind of killer application that would make the majority want this.

          How about gps directions to navigate an unfamiliar location?

          Or for travelling: there already is a phone app to translate signs but it would be so much more to have that live

            Most countries use street signs that do not require translations, that is more of a US thing.

              US street signs are standardized so you can see at a glance without reading. I understand the EU does similar but with a different standard.

              But street signs are not the only signs. There are place names and ads and directions and telling you where to line up for what and how much the subway costs and how to get from one part of Paris to another and directions for the theater, etc, and most of those are localized
