Post by ThreePedalTapDancer » Thu Feb 11, 2021 4:17 pm

While viewing the interactive tour of the museum, I noticed the mannequins faces were blurred out. Another mystery unfolds.

It's to keep online hackers from stealing their identities. :)

What ever soft ware was used, it blurred out the faces. The one behind the Fordson looks to be a lady. Not very interactive friendly site, the pictures are blurry and don't seem to load very well.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

The Link to the tour of the Museum indicated "Matterport" so I figured they were doing the imaging. So the have software like Google uses to put you on the street. The software automatically detects people (and mannequins) and blurs faces

We Are Changing Face Blurring: Here Is Why July 10, 2020
At Matterport, we’re in constant motion, creating cutting-edge technologies to further enhance the capabilities of the Matterport digital twin for our customers. An important part of that effort includes a commitment to protecting the privacy of our customers with features they can enable to manage it. One such feature offered today is automated face blurring. Face blurring is software that is designed to protect the privacy of individuals by algorithmically blurring their faces wherever they appear in an image or video. The technique is used widely across industries from street mapping and directions, to news reporting and social media.
The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.
