When you enter your local Walmart, keep an eye out for the visible part of the latest technology the retail chain has been installing near their doors and throughout the store.
Paging: George Orwell. Mr. Orwell, you there?
High-tech facial recognition cameras are installed eye level near the entry-ways of their new store fronts, but it’s the software behind these anonymous plastic half-globes that is raising concerns (see the video on the following page). Understand, that it isn’t about having anything to hide, these cameras set new a precedent for both personal and business use. These cameras are able to cross-reference your image with online social media networks to match a name with the face, they can learn a great deal more and may be able to track lot of data points. How much the system can record and track is unknown, but in the video on the next page you can see that it not only tracks faces, but can categorize objects and motion:
boycott Walmart ,
We should all carry gorilla tape and cover this up when we see it is not covered.
Big brother at work ya can’t even take a c**p without some$#%&!@*watching you
I will go in and buy spray paint and paint it
Ive seen the cameras IN the stores at face level, when you look up there you are from 3 different angles. I wont be shopping there any more.
Gerald Wayne Stupid$#%&!@*- this is a f**e account – nothing you see about me is real – untill I want you to.
Face Recognition.
They still can’t catch people that walk out with big screens lol.
I don’t see a problem for security, I do see a problem if they use the camera to track you on the internet. That is invasion of privacy and stalking.
Well my face looks so much like my FB pic huh?
