New leaked patent suggests Apple might bring improved face recognition software to iO

[enots27]

Face recognition sucks full stop. Say I am laying in bed and get a text I want to read do I really want to get out of bed to turn the light on just so my phone can see me to read my txt. How about even walking at night. It's not even worth trying on a mobile phone.

that's a very good point btw, but i think that Apple is also thinking about that factor as well.

I doubt that apple will be fitting infrared cameras to the iPhones.

Infrared cams would be cool. Never gonna happen as you still can't recognize the guy. Only a front cam with LED Flash would work. Still a dumb and awful idea. Everything has its flaws, and we have just pointed out a million of face-recog.'s. What about kinect on WP7's or iPhones?
