Windows Live Photo Gallery Will Recognize Faces

Posted By: Sarah Perez | Jul 31st @ 10:07 AM

As part of the Windows Live Wave 3, the next refresh of the Windows Live Services due out later this summer, the Windows Live Photo Gallery will offer a new version of their software – one that will automatically identify faces! The faces in the photos will be able to be identified with tags, which will make the whole tagging process a lot easier to do – since the software will do it for you. We can’t wait to get our hands on this one! The next release of Live will also be “taking advantage of the profile concept with Live,” according to Brian Hall, General Manager of Windows Live as reported by ZDNet. The private beta of Windows Live will launch this summer.

This is going to be a super cool feature.... But can the same person have different faces...? why you ask. Well my daughters face from the age she was born to now (2 years old) is WAY different. Will it be smart enough to recognise her face at 2 days, 2 weeks, 2months and 2years.

That's an interesting question. I'm guessing it won't be able to do that and probably won't be able to recognize people if they're turned to the side too much but it's still a great feature that I hope works well enough to be useful for tagging photos.

this is great! I tag all of my photos, and this will be a great time saver. It will also just be really cool!
