The Nokia N900 just keeps getting more awesome. Today the buzz around the blogosphere, is a little something called “MoBio” or “Mobile Biometrics“.

Developed by the University of Manchester, the app tracks 22 facial features using the front facing camera on the N900, all in real time!

This prototype from the University of Manchester (UK) shows an Active Appearance Model tracking 22 facial features (superimposed in yellow and red) in real-time on a Nokia N900 mobile phone. This demo was developed for the EU-funded ‘Mobile Biometrics’ (MoBio) project as part of a face verification system for access control (e.g. instead of a password to access your social networking profile) on mobile devices such as smartphones.”
