Log this one in the “Totally out there” bin. Also in the “doesn’t really work, but shows off a cool notion that could probably be done if we were smarter and weren’t using an underpowered web plugin” bin. And the “Big Brother / 1984″ bin.

Inspired by the love our Augmented Reality Twitter Shirt recieved and our recent foray into face detection, we decided to put the two together. At the moment, the script doesn’t detect a specific person — that’s where the (kind of) comes into play. But imagine associating specific faces with twitter (or “face”book… …. sorry) usernames and you’ve suddenly combined the power social networking with video monitoring that would make the Brit’s CCTV system cry like it just got relegated to League Two.
