MirroID is an installation piece, which aims to interact with those who look into the ‘mirror’. Inspired by the work of Francis Galton it uses real time face recognition and the process of composite photography to generate a snapshot of identity within a public space.

The project itself is an experiment, which aims to investigate the relationship between the camera, reflection and identity. The experience of looking into the ‘mirror’ aims to raise social and cultural questions surrounding the use of facial recognition technologies within public spaces.

In case you are wondering - The left hand side of the screen is the live web cam feed and the right is the composite snapshot.
