I'd like to see how well it handles subtler modifications. Rather than blocking out someone's face, what about photoshopping the face like is done in magazines? Like someone else said this doesn't seem much more advanced than a difference layer if you're required to have the original image for comparison. Is the novelty here that it's running on android?

I'm amazed that it only got attention when it was put into practice and used against a student. I don't really know who had access to the cameras and such, but at the very least the administration, IT staff of the school (or an outside company) had to know what was going on and no one objected to this? I'd quit and blow the whistle on any company that had me basically bug equipment that was going out to users, especially kids. I hope all of the families in the suit get enough money to retire on.

It sounds like a good idea, but I don't think the project is far enough along in this video to warrant a posting. Maybe he was using too much of a trivial example to be appreciated in the video, but his explicitly offloading the task to another computer doesn't appear to be very far beyond standard client server models. If it were already automatically transporting processing between different nodes, it'd be much cooler, but that is not a trivial problem to solve. Deciding what should and what shouldn't be distributed at the application level will be extremely hard I imagine. If the project were farther along in its maturity I'd be much more interested.
