Sony has just filed a patent for a new selfie technology that can take contentious selfies and pick out the best one for you.
The new technology patent seems pretty weird as it will allow a phone, camera, or Google Glass type device to take many photos throughout the day and night. The pictures are then sent over a secure network to a server that will then process them. The software will detect emotional states being displayed in each photo and apply the appropriate tags.
Users can search for all the happy times during the day or sad ones, etc. All the blank expressions can be deleted. You could also create a timeline of different emotions.
It will even take photos of you during your sleep which could be used to track sleep patterns for better sleep quality, but is also super weird. I really hope sleeping selfies don’t become a thing.
Obviously privacy concerns could be a problem, especially with every photo being sent over the internet to a private server. What do you think of this patent, are you excited or creeped out?
