Hitachi doesn't just make massagers and microwaves...they're also making electronics for your face (but not massagers or microwaves).
Their new surveillance camera system can pick out your face and compare it to 36 million others in just one second. And if that wasn't advanced enough, it can also do it from live video (older systems needed to analyze pre-recorded footage)
Beyond just looking you up based on your face, the system scours archived footage and pulls up any clips it believes contain you, so that operators can quickly get a look at your recent activity. Before you worry that the machines have dominated us, know that it has some limitations, such as angle (faces can't be turned more than 30 degrees left or right) and face size (at least 40 pixels square in the frame). The system will be available next spring, so do your dirty work now before they can pick you out.
