I just want the system that will do facial recognition based on whom I'm looking at, find them via social media, tell me their name and how I know them.

I suck so bad at remembering names and it so drastically impacts my ability to interact with others, that I think this could be life-changing for me.

Fwiw, I've started looking at the camera/glasses side of the equation; maybe someday soon! :)

I feel you! I have the same problem. I can't remember how many times someone walked up to me saying hello and I froze still cause I can't remember who he or she is..

Have you two tried tests like this? [1] The condition actually has a latin name. To bad it can't be fixed, but there are tons of tips for coping with it.. I'm the same. It's embarrassing sometimes, really, especially on these big meetings where I sometimes can't tell after talking to a few people whether I've talked to the next person already.. I'm glad their body language normally tells me.
