It sounds neat --but at first I thought it was going to be about facial recognition. This still requires recall --remembering who people are after viewing them (during a bathroom break, as the article puts it).

Google Glasses would sove the issue of surreptitiousness. You would not have to sneak a focus onto the person you're about to meet --it's automatic as part of your vision. It would work really well there.

Very true. Can't wait for this to realize, however, this does seem like a cool idea. Working with amazingly large amounts of students and academics, I would _prefer_ remember them, even if this meant a bit of rote learning.
