  27 with face recognition</a> to recognise the viewer, and it occurred to
  28 me that it would be more interesting to turn it around, and do face
  29 recognition on the TV image itself.  It could let the viewer know who
  30 is present on the screen, and perhaps look up their credibility,
  31 company affiliation, previous appearances etc for the viewer to better
  32 evaluate what is being said and done.  That would be a feature I would
  33 be willing to pay for.</p>

  36 household, like the big brother feature apparently proposed by Intel.
