Blippar Halos is an Augmented Reality app with facial recognition features

Blippar has launched a new smartphone app, Halos, that focuses on Augmented Reality face profiles and has introduced facial recognition into the mainstream. Blippar claims that Halos is the fastest face recognition technology available. The app has certainly provided smartphone users with an augmented reality experience unlike anything before.



Blippar also claims that the app has an accuracy of 99.67%. Halos, which is in a beta phase, allows users to scan faces with the help of smartphone camera. The app offers features such as creating AR face profiles and 'blipping' which are basically face scanning of users. A face can either be scanned through printed images, digital screens and obviously in person. Halos users will have complete control over their AR profile and content. Blippar first came out with facial recognition technology in December 2016. The tech could easily recognize over 70,000 public figures. The number has increased to 3,70,000 making the app stand out among the rest with similar virtue. Ambarish Mitra, Co-founder & CEO at Blippar, stated, "Face is one of the most unique and expressive forms of communication. Our new in-app feature, Halos, the AR face profiles, changes the face into digital format for the very first time, providing an innovative and dynamic way of expressing ourselves and discovering the world around us. This new technology also lends itself to many other forms of implementation, and we are happy to share our APIs and technology with other companies who wish to encourage innovation in their own industries." Blippar hopes to change the way people interact online and Halos certainly introduces an ingenuine method of doing so.

Samsung Level On Review

Samsung Level On Review Samsung is running on all cylinders in its new venture in the high-end mobile audio accessories space, where they recently introduced its Level series of accessories to compete against some of the more formidable and established names in the market – such as Beats, Monster, and Bose to name a few. Already, we’ve taken a close look at two products from its new line, the Samsung Level In and Level Box , that have proven to be surprisingly good when it comes down to audio quality. Hopefully, we can be assured that we’ll experience the same thing with the Samsung Level On, which as its name so happens to imply, is a pair of on-the-ear headphones. From the looks of it, Samsung has opted to go with a uniform design language with its new headphones line. Unlike the premium nature of its portable Bluetooth speaker, the Level Box, the Level On employs the same design characteristics as Samsung’s Level In headphones. Unfortunately, for a...

Facebook has been tweaking News Feed content to play with our emotions Proof: Facebook affects your mood More negative posts in the news feed can affect user emitions A Facebook News Feed packed with negative status updates from peers is more likely to spur individual users to follow suit, a news study carried out by the social network has shown. The company's experiment artificially tweaked the feeds of 689,003 users to show more downcast or more positive updates from their friends over the period of a week. The results, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science showed a direct correlation between the emotions conveyed in the users' own posts over that period of time. While it's unsurprising that something sad or happy happening to a large number of close friends and acquaintances can affect our emotions, the study offers proof social media is affecting the mood of users, for better our worse.
